Kitchen Granite Counter Tops






The granite counter tops in the kitchen were installed yesterday by Eagle Fabricators in Nashville, TN. The granite is called "Golden Fantasy", and it is golden (you think?), with gray and cranberry veins. It was installed without seams and it took about five hours. They also installed the white marble called "Espirito Bianco" onto a vanity. It looks great on the white vanity. I will get pictures of it when the installation of the vanity is complete.

The geothermal is done, the yard still needs to be smoothed out, the propane was connected to the range and to two of the gas log sets. Lindsey Propane in Williamsport, TN did that. They were very efficient, professional and diligent in getting copper pipes gently through old foundations and fireplaces.

Now mostly we have a boat load of details to take care of such as the front door that sticks so hard that one has to push it with full body force or pull it with both hands...not a pleasant task. We also have two or three interior door knobs that have to be installed. The problem there is that the doors require old style latches as they are solid and not cut for today's door knobs and locks...a trip to Preservation Station and hopefully they will have what we need...I could go on, but that's boring. Most everything is coming together well, we have even moved in some furniture pieces! Stay tuned for more posts!
