Yea! progress

Lots of activity today.  The counter tops were scheduled to be installed so our contractor sent one of his young men to be here and to do several items that could be finished.  The granite arrived a little after 8:00 and was finished/installed before 11:00, it is beautiful.  With the counter top came the stainless sink and the installation of our faucet.  We now have water in the kitchen but the drain connection will not be completed until tomorrow.  Jo can at least get water into a tub but will still have to take it to a toilet to empty.  We also now have a vent over the stove so that is good thing.  Tomorrow they plan to finish the drain plumbing under the sink and some trim around the toe-kick of our cabinets.  The back splash tile will be installed after we get back from this next trip that starts on Monday.

Here are a few pictures from today's progress.

the wine rack was added today

our beautiful granite


In the wine rack  picture you will notice that one door is not attached to the upper cabinet.  These doors were supposed to get glass panels inserted in the maple frames but in reality the frames just blocked out too much of the display area on the shelves.  We are going to remove all of these upper doors and have some plate glass doors being made to replace them.  These upper cabinets will also get some led accent lighting installed to show off Jo's glassware on display.  There will also be some led lighting under the cabinets to light the counter space.

Check back Monday the  12th for some information about our next RV adventure.
