WE DO WHAT WE MUST!

We all know that "SELLERS" have to spend money to put their homes on the market.  What sellers can live with, future buyers can't!
When we lowered the ledge .....The IRON CURTAIN... the granite didn't "quite" butt together perfectly.  David did three different approaches.  The best we had was something we could live with.  I knew when we put our home on the market we might have to replace the entire 12 foot slab.  I was right!  We should have done it in the first place, but decided to "save" our money!!!

If you look closely you can see where the epoxy is very visible.  Not a clean fit!
The only way we could solve this was to bite the bullet and replace the entire 12 slab!!!

So......that's what we are doing.

We found the granite. Monday morning,  David and crew came out to remove the original piece.

And so the work began!

First step to the process was to remove the existing sink

Then, with a lot of STRENGTH the granite was removed!

Because of it's size and weight, David broke it into two pieces

AND HERE WE ARE!

WAITING FOR NEW SLAB TO BE INSTALLED

A FEW DINNERS OUT!!!

We are anticipating the new piece to be installed tomorrow.  

This gives the term "Open Concept" an entirely new meaning!!

HOLIDAY TOUR 2013

December 8, 2013

I wanted to show our home before the Tour begins.  It's been fun preparing for the Tour.  A lot of work, but I love it, every bit of it!
The tree was a joy to work with!  All my gold ornaments fit right in!   I do very little  "Christmas", except for the tree and  a few vignettes here and there.

Please enjoy your visit......and Thank You for coming!

HOLIDAY TOUR ......2013

YES, WE ARE DOING IT AGAIN!
DECEMBER 8TH

LOOK FOR SOME IMPORTANT CHANGES....

Dear, Dear Friends, I haven't disappeared!
I have been very "quiet" for over a week.
I apologize for not commenting on all my Friends' Blogs. I will again soon.
Lots of things are happening and I can't say anything .....yet......

MC and I will  have the BLH on Sun City Peachtree's Holiday Tour of Homes on December 8th.  I have a lot of stuff to do.   We have to wait for our local fabulous,  nursery to flock and prepare for sale,  their gorgeous flocked trees!  Hopefully by the end of this week they will be ready!

I also been asked by our Golf Club to decorate their Dining Room and Foyer for the Holidays.  I have put together a great team of "Designers"(our fabulously talented neighbors)!!! We will be at work at noon the day after Thanksgiving.  The manager has NO idea what his Christmas inventory is!!!!  We will arrive, uncrate. open boxes and go to work.  Have no idea what colors or themes, if any.....we have to work with.  FUN!
But.....it WILL LOOK WONDERFUL!

Please be patient and hang on!  I will be myself again ......soon!

Thanks,
Patty

THE SAGA OF A SPLINTER !!!!

THIS WILL BE SHORT .
ON SEPTEMBER 14 I GOT A SPLINTER IN THE INDEX FINGER ON MY RIGHT HAND.
WE TRIED TO TAKE IT OUT OLD FASHION WAY.   NO GO.
THEN TO THE WALK-IN CLINIC WHICH REMOVED A SMALL SLIVER ON SEPTEMBER 19.
STILL NOT ALL OUT.
ON OCT 15 WENT TO INTERNIST.....WOULDN'T EVEN TRY...SAID TOO NEAR TENDONS

YESTERDAY VISITED A BONE/JOINT SPECIALIST WHO LOOKED AT IT AND SET UP AN APPOINTMENT FOR OUT-PATIENT SURGERY. 
.
THEN THIS MORNING I HAD THE SPECIALIST PERFORM THE SURGERY AT A SPECIFIC FACILITY FOR SUCH THINGS

TOOK THREE ATTEMPTS TO PUT IV IN FOR ANTIBIOTICS.   VEINS GREAT---SKIN TOO THIN.
WAS THOROUGHLY PREPPED FOR SURGERY.
DOCTOR INJECTED SEVEN NUMBING SHOTS IN HAND.
I'M IN HUGE OPERATING ROOM.   FOUR NURSES/MEDICAL PEOPLE PLUS THE SURGEON.
ALL READY TO START.  I AM COVERED HEAD TO TOE IN BLUE CLOTHS.
OH, I AM ALSO WRAPPED IN THREE BLANKETS ...ONE HEATED.
THEN THE HUGE LIGHT LOSES POWER.  NEW LIGHT MOVED IN.
SURGEON STARTS
SPLINTER REMOVED IN LESS THAN THREE MINUTES
RECEIVED ONE STITCH AND BANDAGED.
BROUGHT BACK TO A CUBICAL, WHERE I AM TOLD TO GET DRESSED
NOW, MY ONE HAND IS USELESS.
NO WAY TO  HOOK  YOU KNOW WHAT
SOME HOW PULL ON THE REST

OK   ALL THIS BECAUSE I INSIST ON PARKING OUR CAR IN "NEW CAR" SPOTS.  DID THIS AND GETTING OUT OF CAR BRUSHED AGAINST A HOLLY BUSH.....THUS THE SPLINTER.

I CAN NOT USE UPPER AND LOWER CASES.  THIS IS ALL DONE WITH INDEX FINGER ON LEFT HAND.    THE USE OF THE MOUSE IS IMPOSSIBLE...

THUS I CAN NOT COMMENT  FOR A FEW DAYS   SORRY.
