Day 289. Granite!

No work from Bob today (Ian round for a look at progress, so I take the opportunity to whinge about slowness), but the people from Ivett and Reed are exact to their day, and fit the worktop quite efficiently, levelling up the units and Tims battens are required. It isn't quite as heavy as I'd thought: two fairly hefty chaps get to carry the 3m lengths though its clearly pretty heavy from the way they put it down. It took them from about 1:30-4:30 to put it in, including finishing the cut for the hob (that came with 4 holes cut for the radius corners, and half-sawn-through for the rest, apparently to avoid any risk of it breaking under its own weight, since the hob cut takes out most of the width). We're not allowed to stand on it anywhere, and indeed I think that their ideal would be for us to do nothing except look at it :-) Still it *does* look very nice.
