kitchen plan, gas lines

Here is my draft kitchen plan.  (Actually, technically, not a plan but an elevation, or section to be more precise).

But it will be up to my kitchen designer at Home Depot, 애린.  She will likely give a better design and tell me what I already know – that my design is crap.  But it’s a start.

darned gate

So the only thing I did today at 520 is realign the gate.  Yay.

And expensive.

So here’s what the 3rd (east) wall looks like so far.

siding weight issues

So we bought all that cement board siding (Hardie Board) for the exterior of 520 rear.  But, after adding continuous (no furrow strips) soundproofing and insulation, the width of the wall is now extended 2-7/8″ past the sheathing, or 3-1/4″ past the studs, which are only 2×4.  What kind of hardware is needed to hang cement board siding that far out from the studs?  Once the calculations are done, the cement board siding comes in at 93 lbs. per 4×8′ area.
