Work On Hold Due To Heat

For several weeks it's been hot and very humid.  Too uncomfortable to do any serious work, so we've taken some time off until the weather cools a bit.  

Some of the local Mexicans swear this is the hottest summer they've ever experienced.



There's been lots of thunderstorms, here's one forming in our backyard!



8:30 a.m.  88 degree air, 88 degree ocean, 88% humidity.



With all the rain this year, our only road has had issues.  Good thing we've received the last of our material and appliance deliveries!


The granite counter tops were delivered a few days ago.  Here's the guys finagling a 400+ pound piece through the door:




Setting it down...carefully



Countertops in!   Next week they'll return to do the backsplash and install the sink.



We were extremely lucky with the granite.  We chose the granite guy mostly because of his proximity, only 2 hours away, rather than 5 hours for the guys from La Paz.  After talking to him, we were fairly convinced he knew what he was doing.  

Turns out his work was AAA+, and definitely U.S. quality.  The bullnose and all the edge pieces have matching grain, and the corner seams are completely invisible.  What a relief!
