Granite Countertops and Travertine Tile Installed

Granite Counter tops and Travertine Tile Installed!

I found a granite quarry in New Hampshire that normally does commercial or builder installations. Because it was slow, I could go direct and save almost $5,000 over what Home Depot and Lowe's quoted!

After the granite tops were installed, I could install 2" x 2" travertine tiles. I had to cut out for all the outlets and switches. The electrician did not install the electrical boxes at the correct position for the tile, so each electrical box had to be extended.

And finally grouting all the tile. Grout is premixed and colored cement and sand which has to be "floated" into all the gaps in the tile. Then, it has to be sponged down to remove the extra grout for a professional finished look!
  • Appliance are going to be delivered April 10th!
