A couple of weeks ago, we embarked on some demolition work in our kitchen to remove the old countertops. Things definitely looked interesting after we’d finished.
The stone crew came in with three enormous slabs of white marble and laid them in place. Because two of them had to make the ends of the “L” shape, they had to be joined at a seam. A set of huge suction cups, and an air compressor acting as a vacuum pump, were attached so the glue between the slabs would seal everything tightly.
Our house has a very open floorplan, and sounds can be heard pretty much everywhere, so let me tell you how fun it was to have an air compressor running for 24 hours straight, including all night long. The crew said if it stopped for even a few seconds, they’d have to re-set and re-glue everything. Fortunately it didn’t, so the next day they came back to grind and smooth everything.
The end result is amazing. So long, black granite and big clunky island!
Hello, beautiful bright white marble and an island that flows into the great room!
