Granite, Appliances, and Tile! OH MY!

March 2012
Last time I posted here the cabinets were almost done and the granite was scheduled for installation. Since then the granite has been installed, the appliances installed and tested, and the tile back splash finished. In addition we have installed under cabinet lighting, power strips all along the base of the upper cabinets, and we've done some other finishing up. We have unpacked most of our stuff and have the main floor pretty well finished.

The past week or so has been very hectic getting everything ready for company arriving soon!

Trox installed the dishwasher before the
granite guys came. It was NOT a simple task!
Some new words were invented during the process!
But he got it done and it pulls out just as advertised!
The next day the guys arrived to set the granite.
This was the first piece!
Then they moved on to the area where the sink is
They use bondo to hold it down.
NIIIIICCCCCCCEEEEEEEE!
They had to cut a notch under the piece
on the top of the pony wall.
But they got it done and applied the bondo.
The next step was for Mike to install the appliances.
We had some doubts about whether the range would fit.
There was less than 1/8 inch slop.
BUT IT DID!
Installing the microwave was interesting.
He got it done!
Then Steve (he was the guy who did the floor) arrived.
to do the tile.
We used 20" tiles and went
all the way around the window.
and down behind the range.
