Counters Are In

Our kitchen is almost back to full service. Today, our new countertops were installed; the main one, pictured above, the one in our drink bar area, and Jeanine’s kitchen desktop. After my last meeting of the day (Zooming from my office is now what my workdays look like), I installed the main and bar sink faucets and drains and fit the cabinets with under-mount LED lighting. I ordered new hinges for the cabinet doors and will install them on Sunday when the new hardware arrives. All that remains to complete the project is the installation of the backsplashes. If we can find someone available to do the work we will hire it out. If not, I will be dusting off my tile saw. Jeanine approved of my unsupervised choice of faucets. It can be activated by waving your hand in close proximity to the neck, a very nice feature at a time when we are trying to minimize contact with metal surfaces that are widely shared.
