Soapstone countertops and sink in place
Earlier today we arrived home from an incredibly fun but exhausting company trip to the Red Jacket Mountain View Resort in North Conway, NH. Four days and (late) nights of eating, drinking, skiing, card games, an indoor water park, and Rock Band, all conveniently labeled “work.” We hoped there would be soapstone for us to see when we got back, and we were not disappointed. The sink and main countertop pieces are in place, with just a few details left to finish them off.

Tomorrow the stone people will return to finish drilling faucet holes for the sink, applying the first coat of mineral oil, and installing one last piece of stone behind the cooktop. After the oil is added, the stone will look much darker than the medium gray color it is now.
Also while we were away, the “light rails” were installed below the upper cabinets. These are wooden details which go along the bottom edge of the cabinets, both to finish them off and to help hide the under-cabinet lights.

I’ll post more pictures tomorrow after the stone has been oiled.
