Today is the day!!!!!

I received a call from Cold Springs MN yesterday  and the install for the vanity top is on.  Going back:
  • late June we decided on granite
  • early July we started looking
  • about July 10th we found what we thought we would like but it was in Duluth MN
  • July 13th we drove to Duluth and said we would like it
  • the bath redo went on and on and on and things needed to happen in a certain order
  • painting had to be done, the floor had to be in and etc before the cabinet could go in
  • about July 20th we visited Paulson Brothers woodworking and decided on red birch for the wood as that would compliment the granite
  • the vanity was finally put in about 2 weeks ago and we were set for the granite to go in last Tuesday BUT the slab cracked and we had to find another that was the same-a separate story
  • we did that and made arrangements for Overstock Countertops to get it
  • yesterday the call came that install will be TODAY
  • 3+ months comes to an end
Terry has a dr appt this morning but Steve, the tiler, will be here if the granite comes before we arrive home.
I may sound a bit "over the top" with this but I have owned two houses over the last 45 years and this is the first ever "new" upgrade to a house. I have fixed, painted, repaired, did landscape and more but never have I had an upgrade to the interior of my home so it is a BIG deal for sure.  The install of the granite is huge because after that I can hang the mirrors and things will look kind of complete as the tile should be in by Friday and after that it will be putting the finishing touches on things.  NOW saying that,  I admit that finishing things is NOT my strong point so I need to push on.  I am super at ideas and starting things but to button things up and say "amen", I need to improve big time and I will.
