Marble Kitchen Counters Being Installed Today!

-

Update from our contractor just now! They did a beautiful job!!!! 

He stated, “Some of the nicest fabrication/installation I’ve ever had on a project! They don’t always “waterfall” the grain on the backsplash to the tops. It’s the sign of good craftsmanship, and they did a superb job!”

I made photos from the video too! 

The dishwasher will be to the left of the sink:


The liquid propane gas stove will be inserted here: 




The dishwasher will be installed to the left of the sink:


Our dishwasher has already been purchased and will be delivered after the flooring in the kitchen is done! 



The finish is still pending on the exterior side of the island: 



The liquid propane gas stove will be inserted in the opening to the right. The gas line is already piped in for hook up: 


Our stove and range top microwave have been purchased and will be delivered once the flooring in the kitchen has been installed: 



Our fridge has also been purchased and will be delivered when the kitchen flooring has been installed. It will be to the right of the stove! 


The company did an amazing job on creating the “waterfall” effect of the grain between the backsplash and countertops!  


Blog from Earlier Today: Our marble kitchen countertops arrived today and are also being installed today! Our contractor texted that they are beautiful! Can’t wait to see them! 

I can’t help but mention that our driveway now accommodates quite a few vehicles since our site work subcontractor finished adding more fill and regraded the driveway four days ago! Nice!


These are the most recent photos available that show the lower kitchen cabinets while being installed! 



And this is the design of our final layout! The countertops are Fantasy Brown Leathered Hard Marble; cabinet line is Fabuwood, style is Fusion for both doors and drawers, and color is Kona. 



When we selected our countertops, we purchased one huge, single slab that they later cut for the countertops and back splash. When they cut up the slab, they made sure that the back splash was cut in line with each piece of countertop to the pattern/grain matched between the two! This is what our contractor referred to as “waterfall” of the grain! The following photos are examples of the large slab we ordered. These examples are also our countertop style: Fantasy Brown Leathered Hard Marble:

Catching Up: Wildlife

We have a couple of game cameras down at the bottom of the field. We totally enjoyed the wildlife that these cameras captured!  This cutie has been around since the fall after we cleared the field out back and got the grass growing! We call her Nibbles, as she loves nibbling on the grass!  I can always tell it’s Nibbles when I see the dark spot on her inner right rear leg!  We had so many deer during the winter rut season!  Meet Gaylord Faulker! The coolest buck around! After he shed his large antler at the end of the rut, Hubby found it! So cool! When you find sheds in the woods you don’t know the deer they came from. First time we actually know the deer that it came from! How cool is that.  Here’s his antler! If we could find his short antler, the package would be complete! Once the snow melts, I’ll be out there searching for it! It’s a tough one to find, though!  This was when he shed his large antler! The before and after photos!  Another before an...

My son and his family went by our house in New Hampshire and we FaceTimed so we could see the house!  We weren’t able to get up to New Hampshire this weekend as we have been busy packing here to prepare for our move. My daughter-in-law also took some photos and a video and sent them to us. Here they are!  The glass doors have been installed in the bathroom shower units! Here’s the upstairs bathroom!  Here’s the downstairs bathroom!  They made a little more progress with the great room ceiling! They have to cut and treat the boards before they hang them. I believe this past week our contractor focused more on board prep. Once dry after treating them, installing them will be pretty quick!  Looks like the ceiling in the larger of the two downstairs bedrooms is done! I think this completes this bedroom as far as hanging tongue and groove pine wallboards! They will eventually add trim at the joints and around the window and will hang the closet and entry doors! ...

Weekend Visit!

I went up to New Hampshire this weekend and took multiple photos! Great progress is being made with the house so it is ready for us to move into early June! In about one month we will be moving in! I just can’t believe it! It’s just too good to be true! Our dream of a log cabin is coming true! Having a mountain view, property on a mountain river and 12.55 acres is also a dream! But the best dream come true is living 1.5 miles up the road from my son, daughter-in-law, grandson and granddaughter! I will believe it on move in day! LOL! Oh, and another thing is that I get to keep my dream job too! While living here in eastern Connecticut, I have worked from home for a company in Rhode Island since August 2016, and I love my job! It was just approved on Thursday morning! Another dream is coming true! I know God has been helping me throughout all of this!  OK, time for photos!  This is my weathervane at my home in Connecticut:  As of yesterday afternoon, it is now behind my hom...
