The Money Shot

Ultimately I couldn't wait for them to finish. By their first estimate they should have finished between 6 and 6:30pm. At 7:30 Lara called and asked if they should hold dinner for me. I told her no. But then I asked how much longer 'til the countertops were finished and the lead guy told me about half an hour. I opted to sign the form and leave them to finish and lock the door behind them when they left, and I headed off to dinner. I returned to find it looking FABULOUS. Unfortunately there is a missing element. The overhang on the island is a little bit too long and requires some structural support, and that's missing. It's a little frustrating because I had to go back and forth with the sales person when I was doing the ordering and I paid an upcharge explicitly for the inclusion of steel strapping or ell brackets to support the overhang. Now on delivery they are not there. Aagh! Nearly there. But doesn't it look great!!?
