Saturday came and went and we didn't get nearly as much done as we'd hoped.
The plumber was on call and didn't run the new gas line for the range and the water line for the fridge.
But we learned a lot and replaced both of the sink hardware water heads.
Here is a pic of one finished and the other old:
So I replaced both and discovered how to turn off the water mane. Here are both of them replaced. I love the copper look. I know it will be tarnished in 6 months, but don't bring me down. I like what I see.
This should look good sprouting from our new cabinets.
Our cabinets are in town! They've contacted us about delivery but we are clearly not ready. We have a lot of work to do on the dry wall tomorrow. Crap.
We've decided to replace the area in the kitchen where the previous backsplash existed. It left a lot of glue but also ripped out some drywall paper when it was removed. We want the new cabinets installed on top of a smooth and pristine surface.
We can't wait! But we are putting off the delivery for a couple of days so we can get this finished.
After that...Granite!
Granite is good, Granite is great. I like it under my dinner plate.
Look what's coming....Here is a picture of the Beige Butterfly granite that we ordered:
It actually contains some Crimson in there but it's hard to see it from this picture.
Only $40 a square foot. Booyah!
LOVE THE GRANITE, I AM JEALOUS BIG TIME.

ReplyDeleteYou're quite the poet! :D
ReplyDeletebtw, is it really a water 'mane' or is it actually a water 'main'? i truly thought it was the latter but what do i know about tubing or piping or whatchoo-call-'ms.
piping, in dutch, means something totally different, by the way. it is indeed related to something that is shaped like a pipe. i suppose that thing is also related with internal plumbing, of a sort, only then the external part. does that make any sense whatsoever? piping, then, is actually a verb - something you do to that object. Well, not your own, of course. Got that? ;b
I've thought the same thing about Water "Main."
ReplyDeleteI've seen it used with both spellings and in this post "mane" just came out.
Main is probably correct though.
