Countertops

The countertops are in – a quartz called Carrara Breve (3 cm thick).

There’s an 18 inch overhang by the breakfast bar; supports will be added along the wall in addition to some metal brackets.

At one point, this overhang was supposed to be 15 inches, but that idea got lost somewhere. Thus the edge of the counter doesn’t line up exactly with the wall as planned. Is anybody except me going to notice? No.

We used the same countertops in the bathrooms.

And in the laundry area.

Shower tiles

The tile guys did excellent work. I’m glad we paid a bit extra to get narrower grout (1/8" instead of 1/4"), money well spent.

Prep for painting is in progress.

Outside prep work

The outside is being prepped for the final stucco and for the stone.
