The new granite counter tops were installed yesterday. It was fun and facinating watching how they did it and hearing them grunt as they carried the 3 slabs up the hill to come into the house via the patio. It took about 3 hours and a huge headache from smelling the epoxy for the job to be finished but wait...what is that hole under the window? That is where my new sink is supposed to be....but the one they unpacked had a flaw on the top surface and if there is going to be a scratch...I will be the one to put it on ...not the factory...LOL...well, they called all around to try to find another one in stock...(it is a run of the mill normal stainless sink...so the distributor is rush shipping one and it should be here by next Tuesday..for an installation on Wednesday....in the meantime...I have no drinking water or faucets in the kitchen...nor any water running to the ice maker.
( we did buy several gallons of water to keep in the fridge for a few days...but do you know how many times I have almost dumped liquid into that void space by mistake? the good part is I am getting to eat out a lot...the bad part is ...I get to eat out a lot...the back splash won't be tiled until the floors are installed...and that is 2-3 weeks away. But, I really love the counter tops...
I walk into my kitchen and just stare for minutes at a time and try to invision this project complete and all the dirt and dust cleaned up....LOL...sometimes I wonder if that will ever happen.

Tsk, tsk, poor Jean can't cook and she has to eat out. I feel so badly for you.
Judy, grinning at your pathetic attempt to sound sad because you have to eat out so much.
Oh, I forgot to say that I love the granite counter tops. They're gorgeous.

The new counter tops are lovely. Enjoy the eating out, since it's a short term phenomenon.

okay just to make you feel better...when we had our kitchen redone..we bartered with a guy who's father had built Art's previous million dollar house..in his previous lifetime..so we firgured it was great...well 12 weeks later..i finally had a completed kitchen...i cooked in the garage for that 12 weeks and did dishes in the bathtub for that 12 weeks..it was the most miserable building experience i had ever endured...oh and i was pregnant too during this time..and cooking in a freezing garage in november was no fun..the good news is i was finally able to cook in there...just in time for thanksgiving..not sure how a grilled turkey would have worked out..ha ha~
