Counter Eclipse

It has been a while since the last post and today is a good day to break the silence. There are two momentous things happening today. Cabinet Pro will be showing up to install the Quartz Countertop we ordered for the bonus cabinets against the west wall. One may recall that these are bonus cabinets because they sent the wrong size for the island. They are 30 inches wide rather than 36 inches. So they ordered new cabinets and told us to keep the three that are wrong. We figured out they would go nicely against this wall. 

Because of the radiator, we decided to go with quartz so we don’t have to worry about delamination.

The other event today is a partial eclipse. I have my camera all set up and we will see what we get in about an hour, when it starts.

2:17PM: The eclipse went off like a celestial event. I wasn't able to get a very good picture, but here's what I have.

The picture is purple-ish because of the filters I had on the lens.

We are still waiting for the Countertop guys to show up. They finally called about 20 minutes ago and said they would be here about 3:00.

And so we wait. 

3:25 PM: Okay, the guys are here and the counter top is going into place. Here are some pictures.



That only took half an hour. Wow! That looks great.

The last event of the day is mostly inconsequential because we really don’t have a dog in the fight. But we are going to David’s Pizza to watch the championship game of the NCAA Basketball Tournament. UConn is playing Purdue and Susan and I are rooting for Purdue. If they win, we might be in the money of the bracket challenge we entered.

Note: Purdue lost so we are out of the money. But Susan won some $16.00 coming closest to predicting the combined final score.
