Our Counter Guy

We got the call that we could come pick up our island and doors the day that we left for Bear Lake, so we picked them up and left.

Once we got home, we quickly installed our island, which was a lot easier than expected. All you have to do is place the cabinets where you want them, trace a line around the cabinets, tip them onto their sides, screw some 2x4's just inside the line, tip the cabinets back up (they should fit nice and snug around the 2x4's) and screw the island into place.

Anyways, I divert...we called our guy to come install the counters. He said he could come on Friday. Friday came and he called at 8:30 in the morning and said he would get here around noon. Great! We were super excited...then we waited....waited....waited....

He never showed.....

Saturday we called...no answer....

Saturday afternoon we called....no answer.....

Saturday evening we called...no answer...

Sunday....we rested....

Monday morning we called...and we got through to him.

He was in the hospital.

Kidney Stones!

Poor Guy!!

He profusely apologized for never calling us to let us know what happened. We forgave him immediately, actually, we forgave him before we even knew what had happened. We kept thinking, "He just isn't the type to flake out on us, something must have happened. Plus, why would you call the morning of to say you were coming and then not show up. Something must have happened."

Kidney Stones!

Poor Guy!!

So he came on Wednesday.

 Here is Josh measuring and cutting our island top.

 Putting the trim pieces on.

 Cutting Josh a check on my brand new counter top.

 During the whole time, we had some friends, the Freemans, from Basin City, Washington visiting us. This little dude, Liam, loved Jared. So he helped Jared install our sink once the counter tops were done.

 And we Christened our counters by making banana bread.

I love having counters again. Going a week without them makes living and cooking very hard. The hardest thing about it was not having a sink or running water. I am so grateful my counter guy got better and he did an excellent job...and he gave us a discount for making us wait so long. Nice Guy!
