The Historic District

It looks great, Ron. I agree with the others about the Hancock Green; it's an excellent color for all seasons. Off to look up Elmira stoves now!

Oh, lovely work! Really beautiful.

Upper management is happy with how it turned out, and that’s all that matters. What’s left to do (that have to do), get the skirting all painted up and installed, remove the door knobs and such and get the restored and re installed, and install the tile back splash behind the stove.

wow does that door ever look better un-painted

Well folks, things are finally going to happen at Gothichome. The counter is going to Be installed on Wednesday, ordered up our Elmira stove, should have it buy the end of next week. Pictures when available of course.

Great! Can't wait to see the finished product.

AWWH, me neither, cabinet top is down, taps ect, all rigged in. No more running off to the bathroom with the kettle. Or bucket filling from the bathtub to wash the dishes.

The image shows the granite with a yellow tint due to the lighting, it is actually a grey white.

It's looking very nice. I'm unfamiliar with white granite. It looks like marble at first glance. I've read that marble is a less than ideal counter surface as it is porous, soft and stains easily. This looks like a wise substitute.

Boy, I bet that slab really weighs a LOT.

Hi Willa, I said the same thing when the fellows pulled in, thought it was marble. They assured me it’s granite. And yes it is a very large slab, it my understanding they had a hard time finding a raw slab to cut it out of in one piece. And yes it’s extremely heavy, took four rather large stone guys to move and install. I could feel my back getting sore just watching them.

I would have major anxiety about all the measurements being correct, though I suppose it would be cheaper to get a plumber to move the pipes than re-cut a slab like that !
