Thanks, Ellen.
You DO know that, since your build date is 3 weeks behind ours, you should be receiving happy-dance e-mails with photos in about a day and a half.

Ya Robbie, I remember your demo! I'll be in touch for advice on a few other things...

It's a little thing, but I like accuracy. If I lived near ETI, I'd have offered to update the photos and descriptive text on their website. (Not that they need the extra little bit of accuracy to improve sales; I see they're booked up on 17's , and the other sizes are soon to follow. Soon, they'll stop taking any orders until next year. Wow.)

Ha! I DO know, guys, but I try not to think about it because the heart palpitations are just too much to bear!

That compartment is countertop level, perhaps a pass thru for a sink sprayer?

Laura (NW Cat Owner) posted a close up in her Factory On Tour 9-13-15 thread. It's one of the pics in post #18.

If you're referring to what looks like a 5"x8" compartment with a door hinged down, I think that's just a piece of paper with a dark rectangular area printed on the top half.

It's a pass through window so you can pass dishes to the outside without opening the door.

The all important pass-through!

Ah, yes. It's a good thing - we have that with the Casita's screen door, but obviously the Escape screen lacks that feature.

Not big enough for a pizza box, though.

Mystery box at kitchen window

Haha it's not the outside shower. That will be on the other side near the hookups, under the belly band is my understanding.

Maybe I should get a beer chute installed below the kitchen window for easy delivery from the fridge to the exterior.
