Looks like you can move in now since you’ve got the wet bar installed! 🙂

Wow, LOTS of progress! I love those garage doors with the avant-garde windows. The cabinetry looks very nice.

I can imagine the waiting is hard! Very happy for you guys to finally see this part of your plans coming together. You and Dad have talked about retiring to Bend for what seems like my entire life!

Love you both!
