Rookie Homeowner

Sometimes it takes a little nudge from someonoe else to get the momentum rolling.

Last night , Bryan and Traci showed up with the needed plywood to finish building the countertop base. Bry and I cut the pieces and then headed back to the Depot to pick up a sink and the necessary attachments for the disposal, faucet and dishwasher.

And then today, Miss Maggie Gesue showed up to help me cut the chalkboards into shape. In this picture, she's slamming a green tea to work off her hangover from last night.

Cutting wasn't that hard, but lifting them in place sure was! Mags has some guns and she helped me hoist the stone into place. We traced the sink outline and the used a diamond blade on the circular saw to cut through the slate. We taped the cut-line to reduce chipping.
