This week has been hectic so far and it's just going to get more so through the rest of the week.
Kitchen counter top was installed Monday. It's a Corian clone called Staron. There are a bunch of different ones now that DuPont has lost the exclusive patent on the material. Staron is full thickness, like Corion though, unlike some that are about 1/8" and use a MDF backer board for strength.

A couple of shots of the top. It's called "Sanded White Pepper". We opted for the single built in sink. In the pic to the right you can see the solar tube that was installed on Saturday. WOW! Does that brighten things up.
Terry from Schluters started on the deck on Monday also. They sent the skid steer over with a hole digger. The last three holes nearest the garage he hit rock about 3' down. Those posts will be on solid footing.

LOML kept thinking the deck was too small. She couldn't visualize it. Last night she got to see how big it is [14'x24'] and figured she could live with it. :confused: :)
Everything is still on track for final inspection either late Thursday or early Friday.
