The Granite has arrived! The granite worktop arrived today! The granite fitters turned up a 7:30 am, expecting kitchen fitters to be departing at 8. In fact, the project manager and a fitter turned up at 8.... & then struggled for a while to get the taps off the sink.

After all the wait, we are a bit disappointed in the granite... it seems darker than we expected, also it has a number of white crystaline patches on it that look like stains (though the granite installers said it was natural variation).

Anyhow, the granite fitting went fine.

But....

The project manager couldn't get the hot tap reconnected.... sadly KitchenKraft's plumber is on a course today, at college tomorrow, so won't be back to fix the hot tap until Wednesday!

Also we found that the worktop on the peninsular unit isn't quite wide enough (about half a cm) so the dresser unit is overhanging slightly..... to make matters worse, the way that the peninsular unit swings out to keep it level with the floor tiles (& hence not perpendicular to the wall) means that the swing will be extremely visible!

PM's solution is to replace the dresser with one 10cm narrower.... seems a bit excessive when we only need to find 5mm!  ¶ 4:51 PM
