The countertop drama..

As some of you know we've been waiting for our countertop since just before Christmas. Well after many excuses and putoffs I finally found out what was going on. The guy was going under. He got evicted from his shop over the weekend. Luckily one of the guys that did sub-contractor work for him (Joe) is taking over. I met with Joe on Monday to see what had to be done to get this job finished. They located a piece that we needed but had to find a truck to transport it. I talked to my mother-in-law and she gave the ok that I borrow theirs. So I spoke with Joe Monday night and he was willing to have me drive with one of the guys to pick it up. So today I picked up Glen at the shop and we took a drive up to Galaxy Granite in Walpole to get the 75x76 piece.

The only problem with the slab was it was the glossy finish, when we were sold the matte finish. I do like the glossy better and Glen assured me this slab was enough to do the counters. This is the piece in the sunlight before being loaded.


The guys from Galaxy loading it in.


Loaded up and ready to go.


Glen unloaded after the hour ride back. We had to stop twice to tighten the straps just to make sure it was holding ok. After all the trouble we went to to get it I didn't want it falling out!


Unloaded and in the shop ready to be fabricated!


Joe had Glen come back to the house this afternoon to make a template of the countertop. So it should be ready to be installed on Thursday! Keep your fingers crossed!!!
