We Have Granite!

Busy week since last post.  Herbie has been running electricity and drilling holes in our new cabinets (Karen shudders).  He ran the icemaker line also.  Trying to get under the counter things done before the granite was installed. 

Yesterday Sherry from A-1 Granite Man called to ask about our sinks which she had ordered for us.  One was not as expected and after discussion she did indeed have the wrong one.  Thankful that she was on top of it before they cut the holes!  We got that clarifed and were set for installation today.

The island was the biggest piece, 5 X 8, 40 SF.  There was a lot of talk and grunting going on with this!  We were amazed they only had 3 guys.  Here they are moving it from the truck.

Bringing it thru the door into the kitchen

And here it is installed!

Then they cut the holes for the range top, faucet, water filter, and soap dispenser.  Herbie put the range top in place although he will have to cut out some spots to make it fit.

It is so amazing the transformation of our kitchen!  We are thrilled.  Of course, we have a long way to go but the major part is done.  I spent the afternoon vacuuming out the cabinets and drawers and cleaning the outsides of the cabinets with my new ecloth dusting cloths which I am so far in love with.  I also adjusted some shelves and moved a few glasses to their new spots.  It's going to take a while to figure out where everything will go and I'll have to wash everything before putting it in the cabinets.  I've given Herbie notice that the dishwasher needs to be installed soon!

Plumber is supposed to be here tomorrow but he's so busy, we'll see.  I need a sink really bad!
