Counters!

Mattias installs the three outlets above the island for the pendant lights, and the light in the laundry closet. We use the fixture we took out of the area as a win-win for both: Ray doesn't have to buy a light and trades that for the install of the door chime. It doesn't cost us anything, and at this point every dollar counts.

Marcos has said he'll be over after 1:00, so a major phase will be done today. I understand we won't be able to touch the sink or anything for 24 hours. Mattias had started working on the windows and I don't think he wanted to do the washer and dryer today. I can wait another day, especially as the counters will take up the rest of the afternoon.

The counter guys show up, but no Marcos. We assume he'll come by later. The guys seem very efficient, know what they are doing. We see the counter for the sink and it's perfect, just beautiful. So glad John insisted on the full bullnose edge; it's so nice and smooth. We can't watch all the installation - kind of like watching sausages being made. There is cutting and something about the sink not fitting and we figure it's best not to look over their shoulders.
