We said goodbye to the POD today - DS was not sorry to see it go. He's done a lot of hauling of boxes and furniture this summer...
My backsplash is finally finished! The granite guys replaced the backsplash behind the cooktop (it had a very jagged cut in it and was not done well) and finally installed the backsplash behind the sink. Now we just need to get some dark outlet and switch plates so they don't stick out so badly...
The fireplace guys were also working with granite today as they installed the verde butterfly granite pieces to cover the firebox in the fireplace. Once the grout dries and lightens up, it should blend in well...
Here is a close-up shot of the granite. Now we need some doors and I think we'll be all set.
The landscapers poured the concrete this morning in the patio area. This concrete will be the base for the travertine pavers that we are putting in.
Gravel was brought in and packed down around the pool, and leveled. DH decided to hire the electrician who worked on our house to do the pool wiring. DH could do the wiring, but wasn't able to buy the small amounts of wires and other things he would need to do it, whereas the electrician probably already has the right materials for the job. The inspector is coming on Thursday to inspect the electrical and will come back later to inspect the deck, and the fence and security system for the pool.
I love it when we make progress!
