Looking Good!


The carpenters arrived before 9AM this morning. Father and son have been hard at work and the results give us hope that kitchen will be attractive and functional. The Time Traveller is making regular checks of measurements and I am serving tea with lots of sugar. As I write, the granite man is downstairs on the street grinding the stone for the countertops. Step by step. Stay tuned. Updates at 11.

UPDATE:

The granite installers did very professional work. But we had an 'ooops' moment. Seems that the carpenter had not shown the granite man all the components for the East wall cupboard and so he did not have enough stone to complete the work. Worse, he says that the red granite matching our colour exactly is no longer available in the market. He suggested that he cobble together 3 small pieces to create the countertop today. We didn't want a 'cobbled together' look, so we agreed that after 2 days he will bring one piece of granite that is slightly lighter in colour to cover the cupboards on the East wall. Insha'Allah, it will look good.
