Well, today was not as productive as we would have liked. ISSB and I went back to work and Dad was home alone trying to manipulate granite on his own -- not a one man job. When I got home, we began polishing one small (24") side of the granite and the rubber holder broke on the polisher. Then the next one broke. Then the diamond cutter broke (thankfully we have 4 of those on hand). But a quick trip to HD (my home away from home) resulted in no rubber holders. So ISSB and Dad are going to have to go out tomorrow in search of them. I am back to work. On a positive note, there are only two sides of the granite that need to be polished to rounded edges. The 24" facing the living room and the 36" side of the island facing the dining room. That is way better than having to polish all the sides (glass half full).
The two real victories today were:
(1) doing the final install, as in it isn't moving anytime soon, of the oven microwave
(2) gluing down the granite over the sink so that we can cut the hole out where the sink will live - we are half way through, but it is bed time for me so no more grinding for them
So, no new photos today. You don't really want to see a half cut out sink hole do you? Tomorrow should prove to be a more visually appealing day (sink, cooktop, backsplashes, etc.)
PS: On a sad note, today more than 30 people came to the phlog to look, but no one left us a comment on what they think of the kitchen after Day Six - which in my opinion are some of the best shots.
PSS: Granite glue is some potent stuff, I am going to have some crazy dreams tonight!

hello high one. I left a comment!! Can't wait to see what it looks like with sink and stove. Best of luck!
I'm exhausted just reading about it-can only imagine how you all must feel. Hang onto the rope!
Almost there sweetie, hang in there.
