weekend's work in pix

hey all, just pix tonight. if i have time tomorrow, i'll give you the lowdown on my injury that cost me half a day's work on saturday.

here is cyndie painting - that is her usual evening task - this time the ceilling.

here's the island in and with the plywood down ... it's about square 78 inches by 81 inches. There will be cabinets on the wall when we're done, but the countertop has to go in first because the middle cabinets will rest on the countertop.

another view of the island ... the eating area/bar is on the closest and the right side ... on either side of the leg you can see in the foreground.

i told cyndie she had to lay on the counter to give a better perspective of how big the island is. everytime cyndie sees it she can't believe how big it is ... in a good way I hope! ;)

This is the type of granite we're getting ... it's kind of similar to this ... a little more black and white with less gray and the tan more as the accent. the fabricators, who cut the granite, are coming out to measure on wednesday.
