I had been looking forward to yesterday for a looong time, because it was the day the countertops were to be installed, and we'd finally get to see what our bold color decision on the kitchen island looked like. Well, we got to get a SENSE of it, but it was a letdown because the Austin Countertops people didn't cut the right shape hole to fit the sink. You can tell from the pics here that it's straight in places where it should be curved. Anyway, much stressing out later (about whether they were going to gracefully admit their mistake and eat the cost of re-doing it or not), once they came to look at it today they realized that it indeed needed to be fixed, and are going to do it for free. Whew!
You can see here also is the bathroom countertop - which they also kind of messed up because they cut the depth too short - but they have fixed that for free as well, and are installing that right now. Come to think of it, I should probably go check in and see for myself, to make sure it's right.
One thing that is not stressful is that Amanda is doing a beautiful job of installing the wooden shiplap faux-wall, which will form the kitchen backsplash and go behind the refrigerator. Also Bill and Bob are installing the drawer fronts, and they look pretty damned sharp.
