All of the very dark grey granite was installed this week. It turned out pretty dark, but it works ok with the color the cabinets will be and the ceiling color. All of the bathrooms, the kitchen, and the kitchen island have the same granite.

Master bath has granite and cabinets.

The upstairs full bath is a toilet and faucet from completion!

The first floor half bath has the darkest looking granite. I think the smaller the slab, the darker it looks. We live and learn!

The kitchen counter and island are done! There’s a small section of cabinet door that is stained dark grey on the counter to the right of the sink showing the color that all of the cabinets will be.

The porch is a bit cleaner now and is looking good. All it needs is a few more pickets and a fire in the fireplace. Despite the lack of winter weather closer to Atlanta, Ellijay and Blue Ridge got a couple of inches of snow. This was enough to pretty much shut everything down. Even Chik Fil A , was closed!

We learned that both Gilmer and Fannin county treat the roads, which is a step up from our experiences in Georgia to date. They don’t have real salt, but the loads of gravel seemed to be keeping the roads fairly safe.

Staining the inside walls and tile work will be happening in the next couple of weeks, so we are in the homestretch!
