Granite

The long awaited granite counter tops arrived this morning. The installation guys actually arrived 45 minutes early so Eric and I were both home and had the opportunity to see the first piece laid into place. Eric had to take off for work and I planned to work from home, but unfortunately the smell drove me out. The whole install took about an hour and a half. I made it through, but I the smell was causing me such a headache that I had to get out of the house as soon as the install was finished.

Eric and I admired the final product after we arrived home from work today. The smell was still there, but it was much better than in the morning. The granite looks beautiful. The under-cabinet lights sparkle off the polished surface. We laid the back-splash tiles on the counter and to our delight they matched perfectly. We're so excited to finish the whole project.

Well, the plumber comes tomorrow. We're looking forward to being spoiled by our new dishwasher. In fact, I stopped at Target on the way home and picked up some dish washing soap just for the special occasion tomorrow night.

More tomorrow...
