A quarter 'til nine in the morning the doorbell rang. The granite installers from Eugene Tile & Marble were here unexpectedly, but welcome. A little mix up about a phone call to let us know they were coming. They took a fifteen minute coffee break, which gave me time to clear off the counters. You might question the wisdom of putting a counter top on a counter top. We had come to consider the plywood base for the granite as our counter top. The microwave, coffee canister, cereal boxes and various tools covered it.
Davy and Eddie got to work right away measuring, leveling and cutting. Every time I see that Verde Bamboo I like it more. It is beautiful. The piece that went by the window was challenging to install. It took three people to get it in. Dana stopped by just for that purpose. These guys were perfectionists to the sixteenth of an inch. I don't know that I'd have the patience. They cut out the sink opening under a plastic tent to contain the dust. Davy remarked that Verde Bamboo was one of the hardest stones he's cut. Quartzite from Brazil is the most information I've come across.
