What a pain in the butt. If they have to redo the tops make sure to ask for
the old stuff. Use it in the garage or build a rolling bbq cart. Easy to
cut granite to size if you have a water cooled circular  saw. I gotta make
a trip to look at my choices for granite. Sink is white farm sink and cabs
are going to be cherry but it'll take decades before they turn dark.

         Waiting for backsplash pics. Subway tile is really popular  again.
I have 34' of backsplash and I'm going all the way to the ceiling at the
sink and vent hood. Lots of tile..

                Geri used to be based in Nashville and she loved it there.
She really would like to live on the Tennessee side of the mountains but
there isn't anywhere she can commute out of. We haven't had time to make
another trip to CLT to look at houses. Will be 2017 before CLT will be open
to transfer.

             Tell Nate to go for it. I gotta send some funds your way too.



                  As for tablets. I got my Samsung 8.4 pro when they came
out and it's been great. Free wifi on the plane with it and a bunch of
other stuff and the ability to open windows on top and run multiple apps at
once is really nice. Push a button and switch between apps without closing
them like apple does. I rarely use the computer now.
