As if my operation and prep for it is not enough, our kitchen is completely torn apart. We decided this spring to upgrade our kitchen with granite countertops, glass tile backsplashes, wood floors, some cabinet changes and stainless steel appliances. We hired a contractor and expected the work to be complete by mid June. Guess what, they started few weeks ago and are just now in the reconstruction phase. Today our granite countertops were installed. We chose a Brazilian granite called Cream of Boudreaux. Supposedly the kitchen floor will be laid by the end of the weekend. I don’t relish the idea of early morning hammering during my surgery recovery, but it looks like the weeks will not be very relaxing. It just seems to go like this with contractors these days. At least the loud heavy duty demolition is complete.
