Today we took a drive to Granite Mountain, in the town of Lac du Bonnet, to choose our kitchen counter top. Wow, what a gorgeous place. I wish I could buy it all - there are some gorgeous slabs of rock up there that I would love as artwork on my wall! It was a beautiful day & the 90 minute drive up there was wonderful. They are a quarry but also import granite from all over the world. The gal was telling us that they estimate there being enough granite in their quarry to last about another 300 years!
This is only a portion of what they have in stock.
Here's one of ours. We have this one and the one behind it. The colour is Juparana Santa Cecelia and they are from Brazil. The sun was shining so you can't see the top as it is too bright. Hard to take a picture in between the racks, but you get the idea.
Couldn't resist taking this picture...gotta love the prairies.
After some tense moments trying to find a taper...Walter & his crew started today. So far so good!! They should be done in a week!
Our buddy Ray (who brings us dirt, gravel, etc) has spread all the piles of dirt he brought a while back. Still need a few more truck loads to ease the slope a bit. We built about 6" above grade just in case that little river behind us ever decided to flood (but there is no history of it doing so).
