But TODAY'S THE DAY! Unavoidably, I had a medical appointment that fell on the same day as the installation appt. Michael came to the rescue (again) and volunteered to let the installers in at 9 AM while I was gone. And Matthew graciously volunteered to drive me to and from my appt.
When we returned to the house at 10:30 AM the counters were in! Michael had taken lots of pictures for us all, as follows:
This covers a 9" bump out in the 48" wide kitchen window
A big piece covers the peninsula unit and pony wall
The stone has a protective wrapping over it
Without the plastic wrapping, the surface is so shiny!
Now for the counter over the sink. I asked for the sink cut out (since I paid for it) and all other remnants that may end up as one of my sculptures.
The sink counter is in place
One backsplash is in
A second backsplash is in place
They lifted the 125-pound sink for us. It fit perfectly.
Doesn't it look beautiful?
I am so happy!
The last counter is in place
Now that the workmen have gone, Michael will go under the sink and install the long-neck faucet.
Once he hooked up the hot and cold water, he tried it out in a plastic bucket. That was an easy project; however, hooking up the disposal and sink posed many logistical fit problems. I made him an apple pie to keep up his resolve to conquer these challenges.
He's going back to Home Depot for the third (fourth?) time today to find plumbing pieces that will fit properly. Thank goodness it's only 3 miles away!
