Day Eighty to Eighty Two: What's so special about these counters?
It looks like the counters are going to be installed on November 7th. And if the plumbing is hooked up on the 8th, it will be a banner day in the 2562 renovation process.
Several people have asked what kind of counter material we're doing. When I reply "granite" it just doesn't seem to do the stone justice. Not just any granite, but one called "bamboo verde." Why? See a pic of the slab for yourself and you'll know...
When we saw this slab in the showroom, it was the first (and only) thing we both said, "wow, that's it!" We'd been considering concrete, or soapstone, but they just paled (literally) in comparison to this. Luckily the kitchen is small, and all the counters can be pulled from one slab... otherwise we'd never be able to afford it. Just another benefit to having a small, yet efficient kitchen.
As far as actual progress, the light was put up in the pantry, and the appliances and countertop were leveled. Nothing too photogenic. Tonight will be starting to figure out how to attach the breakfast bar. Breakfast bars... yum!

The princess can't wait for the breakfast bar, either- although it will be a challenge to figure out how it will all go together. And even once it's done, it will still pose some challenges since the Dr. won't be able to sit in the barstools (and I am sure she will be less than thrilled about that).
