Kitchen Renovation Day 3

Today we went shopping for countertops. I have been in love with white kitchens and Carrara marble countertops for over a year. Almost everyone we have talked to seems to discourage us from using marble in the kitchen. So, I have considered so many other options, granite, quartz, Corian, etc. Nothing we have been able to find compares to the look of Carrara and I just keep coming back to it. So, today we decided that we are just going to do what we know we really love.

Here is a shot of one of the Carrara slabs we viewed today. The shadow makes it kind of hard to see exactly, but you can get the idea.  Jeffrey is going back tomorrow to pick out the exact slabs that we will use.

Bob worked some today in the crawl space. He will be installing an engineered beam to help support the area where we are taking out the wall (sorry we didn't make it under the house to take a picture of that).

Here is a pic of the temporary wall that Bob built today. He will also build another one on the other side. These will be in place until he finishes and properly supports the new opening.
