Granite Tuesday !
Team from 'Solid Rock' arrived today with a truck full of beautiful counter-top stone for the new house. Seth, Matt & John brought us; 'Yellow River' granite for kitchen and dining room, 'Ubatuba' granite for den (matches the fireplace) , and some Carrera marble for the master bath. The Solid Rock guys wasted no time in hand-carrying the stone into the house, glueing/acrylic bonding the stone into place, leveling and chaulking with silicone sealant. Took them only ~4 hours to complete the job. Once the Solid Rock guys left, John's crew (Ricky, Billy & Ricky) installed the ovens into wall cabinet in the kitchen. We just need power, gas and water before 'soup's on' !
Columbus Day brick work
No rest on Columbus Day Monday. Plans for a day of relaxing & boating were deferred so we could make better use of our vacation time by working instead. John gave me & Steve a lesson in concrete mixing, chopping & paver-laying. We finished 80% of the entry door-stop area, which is just a warm-up for the riverfront facing porch. We'll start the porch (assuming good weather) on Friday. Making a run to CVS to stock up on Advil before then.
