We are finishing up on the outdoor patio / kitchen and bar. Really looks better in person...

Are you going to run out of ideas first, or are we going to run out of adjectives to comment on all your creativity & execution??

PRETTY DAMN NICE!!

When is the "GRAND OPENING"?

WOW, what a inviting space.

Just wondering was all this part of the "BIG" picture or the as usual "We can DO this" as the project progressed?

Believe it or not, most of the ideas in this house I conjured up based on things I have seen over the last 3 decades, living and working in various places. We have adapted some as we went along but to be honest, the vast majority of what we have accomplished was on paper before we struck the first shovel into the ground here.

We still have a couple of big projects left including the firepit area so I expect we will probably still be at by the time I hit 90...

Looks great! Of course I had to enlarge the picture and look at the details....

They did a great job on the rocks, counter top and floor. No cracks, clean rock work... you have some great masons!

Oh...and of course the big speakers

Congrats.

Thanks Wooo - Chava is extremely detail oriented which is why he and I have made such a great team. As far as the speakers - they are are a pair of Yamaha NS-500M Studio Monitors I had put away and decided to suspend in the patio. This afternoon we had a big BBQ here and the last guests just now went home.

EVERYBODY commented on the speakers and the incredible sound quality. Some may say it is a tad overkill for a patio setup but that is exactly where we spend the majority of our time with friends....

Stunning, and first class all the way... I hope to see it in person... Great job Ron, I wish I had your talent... all I know is irrigation and Baja history, neither pay very well lately! LOL
