We had to try 6 or 7 times to shave back the wall details to squeeze in the counter. That's Chris who is a pretty bad ass carpenter.
Here they are cutting in the hole for the sink. Don't want to mess that one up.
It finally fit and looks awesome. They put the sink in and also roughed in the faucet.
Next came the waterfall detail at the wine refrigerator.
The wine refrigerator goes in this space. They did an awesome job with the mitered corner. When we can find the battery charger for our good camera we'll share some detail photos.
Now what is wrong with this photo? This is supposed to be the waterfall on the south end of the island. This was the last piece they brought in to install. I can't believe they even tried to bring it in the house. The seam is one thing... the fact that it is two slightly different stones is crazy! They did such an awesome job with everything and then this happened. They were supposed to come back today with a new piece but it was too late so they are supposed to come back tomorrow first thing. Erin is going to be here for that and kick some butt if it does not look good.
They also got some of the glass tile back splash in. It adds some nice color to the space since most of the walls will be white too.
I think the schedule might be slipping a bit. I know the counter tops are a huge step but the progress has been very slow the last week. The only real progress today was the tile. To do all of the cabinet doors, shelves, drawers is probably another 3 days. Plus painting, finished electrical, hook up sink, appliances... It may be another 6 or 7 days. I sent them a note about the schedule and what is left. Not looking to rush but would like an updated completion date.
