Granite counter top installation begins: End of day 1

Posted on the November 10th, 2009 under First Stages by admin

Today was a very exciting day in the world of our house. The granite counter tops were delivered and installation was a success. The details on the granite counter tops are as follows: The overall length of the kitchen bar / counter top side with the sink is 12′-6″ long. The granite is a 3-1/2 centimeter (CM) thick Uba Tuba granite imported from Brazil. The back-splash height is 4″ in the bathrooms and 6″ in the kitchen. The back-splash on the stove / refrigerator side will be glazed white porcelain subway tile 6″x3″. The sink in the kitchen is a under mount 50/50 side by side with deep bowls. The vanity sinks are under mount white porcelain sinks.

The granite installers ran out of day light and power today so they could not complete the installation. They will return tomorrow at 11:00 a.m. to finish and I will post pictures tomorrow of the finished product.
