    Matt! Pro tip from a subsurface investigator. Anything you burry that you don't want hit place a tracer wire. You will thank yourself later if you ever have to dig up a pipe or dig for any other reason. Any basic utility locator will be able to find it. Otherwise you would need a expericned GPR operator to identify them.

    We had a similar issue with our 48 in stove and cabinet. What we ended up doing was filling the back space of the stove with a matching granite. It not only looked aesthetically pleasing but has also helped the backsplash not getting stained or dirty. Remember these 48 in stoves produce a lot of BTU and having that gap in the back really helps to circulate the heat out of the exhaust vent on the stove to your custom hood vent as well.

    You two have done an amazing job bringing life back to the entire property!
    With all of the unobstructed sunlight hitting the rooves, solar panels for electricity will be able to make enough power to run the entire house/HVAC/pool pumps and have plenty for battery storage/charging.
    Are the rooves and drains in the front of the house going to drain into a cistern for irrigation? It's going to take a lot of water to grow grass and anything else up there.

    The circular driveway helps with larger vehicles. I would have made sure it's big enough for a 45ft motor home or semi. They need to get up the driveway and go back down without backing up. It's so much easier to have things delivered.

    Anyhoo, definitely get Mere's approval on the driveway NOW before it's too late. Also, that whole "falling off a cliff" thing sounds way too real so make sure there's something fairly soft growing out past the play area. If your kids are anything like I was as a kid, one or more IS gonna fall off the edge sooner or later.
