Countertops
The installers came to install the counter tops once the cabinets were secured in place. As I mentioned in an earlier post the counter top material is quartzite. Quartzite looks like marble, but doesn’t have the problems people often associate with marble. Following are photos of bringing them into the house and laying them in place.
Sink in place. Ready for the countertops.

Almost 600 lbs.
Just lift and place.

Long counter top
The biggest job was nudging the under-counter apron front sink into place. After everything was aligned, the counters received a bead of clear caulk around the edges. The countertops were otherwise not fastened to the cabinets because their weight will keep them in place. A quick back-of-the-envelope calculation suggested that the peninsula weighed slightly over 600 lbs. It’s a good thing we put extra support in the basement.
After the countertops were secured, the sink was plumbed and the stove was hooked up to the gas line and installed.
From tidy to messy once again as the electricians hook up the dishwasher.

Here comes the stove
Now the kitchen was almost ready. The refrigerator is next to arrive.
