Countertops

Today a nice young man named Matt (picture the nice, short boy in your class who was brilliant in math) came to measure for the quartz countertops.

With his trusty laser and attached computer tablet he was able to make a template without a measuring tape or cardboard. Modern technology is amazing. But there was a slight bump in the road at first. His laser would not turn on. But with a little tweaking and re-booting the red dot appeared on the wall.

He would place markers at each corner and center the laser dot on them. Then a tap with his stylus would enter the measurement. After all markers were entered into the computer the template for the countertop would be completed.

But when it came to the piece for our hutch, he took digital pictures and measured.

So in less than two weeks, we hope, the countertops will be delivered and installed. Between now and then the electrical, plumbing, and flooring will be finished. Tomorrow I prime the walls but first, I will have to conquer the dust from the sanding of the drywall joint compound. Suffice it to say that the floor was white when I came back from the library. But Al the Drywall Finisher did make the walls a lot smoother.
