The countertop folks were in the house today measuring for the countertops. We opted for quartz composit counters for maximum durability and good looks without a lot of fuss.

The measuring of the kitchen (and other areas) was done two ways. The fellow used a modern comuterized instrument to digitize the entire area of the counter, measuring the wall every two inches along its length. This means the counters should fit perfectly - even if the wall isn't perfectly straight. He also used an old fashioned tape measure to double check everything - just to be sure he got it right.

Meanwhile I was in the shop routing the cornerblocks for the interior trim around the doors of the house. Butterflies is the theme to match the window trim and bridge details.

Next week the finish carpenters will be back. Every day we get a little closer to finishing things off. When that happens we get to move in at last!
