Almost finished

The baby could arrive any day now. Luckily, our kitchen is almost finished (finally).

The granite guys came by today to install the counter tops. The "L" that runs from the oven and around the sink needed to be 2 pieces. (If you can spot the seam, you win a prize). The other "L", on the bar side of the room, was one massive slab of granite. We figure it weighed between 300+ lbs, based on the look on the guys faces when they carried it in.









Our contractor is coming back on Friday to put in the tile backsplash and finish up all the little details. If all goes well, we'll be able to load up the cabinets this weekend and -- amazing but true -- actually cook in our kitchen. We haven't been able to do that since the end of January. Some of our pots, pans and utensils haven't been unpacked since before we moved to New Jersey from Massachusetts (almost 18 months ago). So, basically, we're really looking forward to having this done once and for all. (Oh yeah, and there's that whole "impending birth" issue, too). :-)
