The End is Near! (Countertop Installation)

Finally we are coming very very close to being done with our kitchen! The last BIG piece to this project was getting our countertop installed and getting water back in the main floor! Below are the steps in the process as they assembled the different pieces to pull it all together!

The main countertop area came in two pieces - one short one (above) and a longer one with the sink cutout (below). They had to take the cabinet faces off to properly set the granite tops on.

Below you can see the (easiest) part of the job, since there was no backsplash to attach - and some more of the woodworking done to make the new half wall nice and even with the cabinets.

Finally - the most important part - the sink!!!! The piece we had been waiting and waiting and waiting for!  :)   (The backsplash was also put on by this time)

(Looks are deceiving though - the water isn't hooked up quite yet - that comes with the plumber!)

Finally, our kitchen is nearly complete!! With countertops, we could really get everything back into the kitchen area without worrying about everything getting dusty and dirty anymore. Still need to add some finishing touches (move the fridge back in, hang some lights, finish electrical outlet work, etc.) - but the biggest piece was done!
