Granite

The last few days have been spent trying to figure out which granite we would like for our counter tops and which company to use.  Our contractor was very high on one that is less than a mile from our house.  We met with them and picked something out.  Our cabinet maker likes a different company from Fort Wayne.  That is an hour drive for us, so I was against it.  However, Doug decided to go ahead and talk with the one the furthest away, because they could promise to have the granite installed within two weeks of the template date and he had many favorable reviews from them when he worked at Grabill.  The company a mile away, said that it would be at least a month out and our contractor's contact quit working there.

We both spent quite a bit of time on the phone with the companies, looking at pictures of granite and sinks.  We decided that it was too big of a price to take it lightly, so we drove the hour trip up to look at full slabs of granite.  Doug kept gravitating to one that he really liked.  The one I picked out was quite a bit more money, so we went with his.  We brought a small piece home and it will look great.  In all honesty, I would have been happy with anything.  I am ready to get rid of our laminate and get this process going.  Next week construction starts and we should be finished by November 12th, in plenty of time for Thanksgiving.
