Granite Countertops

The most exciting development this week is that the granite counter-tops were installed in the kitchen and the three full baths. (The half bath will have a pedestal sink instead.) You can also see that they installed the stainless steel microwave oven. The dishwasher arrived as well, but when I was in the house this afternoon it was still in the box. I'll bet they will install it tomorrow, though.



















Here is a view of the bar area as well.























Both of the staircases have permanent railings now, and most of the woodwork has been installed. I was surprised that they install it first and paint it afterwards---I thought it would be the other way around.
























Well, someday I will have a place with a real hot tub, but for now, the garden tub in the third floor master bedroom will be just fine. You can see that they have installed the towel racks and things. It is really interesting to see which details are done earlier and which ones wait until later. I figured stuff like towel racks would be almost last to be installed.























The doors arrived, and here you can see them lined up in the garage. All of the doors were installed this afternoon.




















Pretty exciting stuff! I am ready to move! We are having a yard sale on Saturday to clear out some of the clutter before the big move, and we will use the proceeds from the sale to purchase ceiling fans for all of the bedrooms.
