We have been so busy, we haven’t had time to update the site !! We are almost in the house just finishing oiling and waxing the floor!! But here is some pics to try and catch you up a bit!
Curt worked with a friend Adam on kitchen cabinets, Adam is a GREAT guy, super talented in many ways and awesome person too! They built the cabinets at Adam’s shop then brought them to the house. We are not doing anything fancy for now due too lack of time and money!! We built them so we can add the doors later but for now will have funky “Costa Rican” style curtains over the fronts 
We built the countertops out of 3/4 plywood topped with metal lath then a layer of earthen material that is then oiled, polished with a stone to close the pores then waxed! So you get a very durable waterproof non-toxic surface! Here are some pics!

are you related to me? i lived in Eastern Canada for a time after 1968 (which is beside the point), but as a genealogist i have recently followed the Robinson line from Virginia into New York and then into New Brunswick (i lived in Fredericton) and Upper Canada (i lived in Toronto too – too bad i didn’t know about my Robinsons!)
soooo – are you descendants of that line of people (maybe, like me, you didn’t know about them!)
i am very interested in what you are doing
b (in Cupertino, Calif., but a Colorado native, born in Louisiana – the family gets around!)

I got interested after reading your comment and did some research on the family history. Its pretty amazing how much information you can find. I Followed it back to Eastern Canada.
