Out of the Closet

This morning, I finished working my way around the closet frame and installed flooring about two feet or so toward the front door before I had to quit for lunch and a visit to our granite fabricator.

The third slab arrived today and Amanda and I went out to inspect it and work with the fabricator on what parts of the stone we wanted to include in the various counter tops.  Here's the third slab:

 While we were admiring the granite, I noticed that one of the workers was cutting the hole in our vanity marble top for the soap dispenser.  The sink cut-out had been polished and the faucet hole was already drilled.  Here's the soap hole being drilled:

Amanda provided some invaluable inspection services for the granite.  The blue lines are the approximate locations of the various pieces for the kitchen sink area, dining room and island.

When we got back home, I nailed in a few more rows of floor boards and called it a day.  Here's how it looks at present.  As part of the finishing work, we will install quarter round to hide all of the board ends for a neat appearance.
