granite countertops


the granite countertops were so heavy that the suppliers didn't want to try and pack them up the stairs so they brought in a crane to take them over the house and then down to the deck and into the dining room

After months of worrying about getting the gas line to the house, with a underground line locator who knew what he was doing and the professional crew that installs the gas line, the final job was really quite simple. So we now have gas to the house!
