Oh that old Home Depot

So there we were.....walking through the Home Depot going getting bolts and solar salt and a few other very exciting purchases and we walked by the counter top section and BAM.....just like that we purchased some new granite counter tops.  It was a good deal so we just went for it.  Little did we know the multiple extra steps of annoyance we would have to face just to get them installed......I will not bore you with the details as everyone knows it is never just a simple project. 

They are finished now though and I couldn't be happier with them.

I almost didn't get the under mount sink.  It was quite a bit more money and we do not have a standard size sink base so the non-standard sinks cost more, but I am so glad I did. 

I totally could not have imagined putting that yucky old sink and faucet back on the new granite. 

I also totally underestimated how much I would love just being able to wipe stuff right into the sink without it getting stuck on the lip of the old sink.  I made an apple pie the day after they were installed as I whipped that mess of flour and sugar crumbs right on in I thought how ever did I live before.
