The sink and faucet

The sink and faucet have arrived (the 2nd time for the sink) and are in. I installed the disposal and the dishwasher the following day after the bondo dried and the sink had properly adhered to the countertops. The surface is a product called Caesarstone and is a solid surface quartz material.

Steel in the his-OUSE

These are W8 x 21's. Which means a nominal 8" high and 21 lbs per foot in length. Since they are 18.5 ft long, they weigh 388 lbs. And yes, my shoulder did hurt like hell the next day. The installation of these two beams allowed for the removal of two walls and with the inclusion of the third column, I was able to have a "T" shape that eliminated a column landing in the middle of my living/dining/kitchen.
