Today dad and ISSB spent the day bonding and working on the kitchen. First they went on a wild Texas goose chase around the Austin-area in search of the rubber granite sanders, they found them just north of Buda, TX at some off the beaten track backwards place call Moe Frieds. They think they even met Moe.
Then they spent the day getting some of the final details in to place.
So the good news is that (1) we have a working sink, (2) we have a working icemaker/water filter, (3) we have a working garbage disposal, (4) we have a working dishwasher, and (5) we have a working stove -- well half of one, the other side is on backorder.
The all the granite is glued down (yes, we are high again). And the seams are close to perfect.
Tomorrow we have to cut the back splashes, finish rounding the edges of the peninsula and island, polish the whole thing and then seal it. Do a little more detail work, crown molding, trim, etc and then dad will begin the 36 hour drive back to Portland. ISSB and I will begin the 36 hour cleaning spree that I have planned (seriously, there is dust EVERYWHERE!!!).
And once we get everything in I will do a before and after, side-by side comparison of the new look and feel of the Pi-Milton house.
For today, here are the shots:

You needed to be done before football season, congrats...
Looks fantastic. I can't believe how many cabinets you have (I should say, you get!). We know a thing or two about a fine layer of dust coating everything around here - at least it's easy to clean...
WOW-looking better all the time. And it no longer looks like an ad for Ryobi!
