Granite

The story of our granite counter tops is a long one, explained mostly in an earlier post.  So after not just a few problems and a death in the immediate contractor family, the day finally arrived that the granite finally arrived and was installed.  No easy job — and hats off to Ted and Alex (father and son) of Rye Marble for an excellent job in the fabricating and installation of a major feature of our new kitchen.

The Story — as told in photos.

The granite arrives by 4-wheel-drive pickup truck (it IS still winter in Connecticut) . . . .

The small counter was carried in and was an easy install . . . .

The island, not so much . . . . . . . “whew, that was heavy” . . . .

And the piece with the bay window section, tough install . . . .

A second counter piece was installed, the seam glued and sanded, and ooohhh . . . . . .
