Is There A Kitchen Yet ?

Well not actually....but we do have a kitchen counter!!!! We ordered a corian countertop.
When they came to measure, they used a a unit called a digitizer which actually digitally measures the from point A to point B, inputs the info into the laptop & you have a actual visual to look at so you can see just what your counter will look like!
Then you need to choose the color, sink size, edging style, height of your backsplash....will the decisions never end?!?
The counter arrived & took 3 men to carry in the sections & install them. It came in 5 sections. Only one had a slight problem fitting, a little tight resulting in a wall ding (Mrs. Mandy Fix-it to the rescue), they took the counter back out, filed down the edge & it slid back in just like a glove.
One section-the island- we didn't have them glue down yet because we were making a slight change to the cabinet & we'd glue it when we were done. Apparently that was a good thing, when Mandy (The Mistress of Tiling) looked it over, she commented on how the edges weren't right for tiling (& since she was doing it she ought to know). So the largest counter (upper right) has to go back to the factory & be readjusted. Since they're at it, Tom wasn't happy with the edges so they'll sand & polish those too.

The counter has all of a sudden become an ideal place for setting all kinds of tools, work parts, etc. What is it about a clean empty flat surface that begs to be covered with all sorts of tools, papers. parts, etc.?
The counter looks absolutely great with the rest of the colors we chose for the kitchen. The guys were great & the counter looks just like it belongs....
The microwave, stove, cooktop & dishwasher (YIPPEE!!) will be delivered on the 19th. Not that I really care, I have decide that washing dishes by hand each evening burns up the calories I consume from wine, so who needs a dishwasher?
Just kidding Tom.......
