Granite installation

Today, workers came over to our house to install our granite!  :)

Installing island

Using a jigsaw to cut out sink

Tools and cooktop cutout marked

For the tools, it's very nice to see that they have this gigantic level.  :)
The round clamp on the bottom left of the picture is used to hold up the granite while they apply their glue underneath.  I missed out on getting a video of this.

Note:  Get all kitchen faucets ready before the granite installation.  I had to run over to the plumbing store while they were installing to pick up our kitchen faucets.  They don't know where to drill the holes for the faucet otherwise.  (Unless you have a faucet that only requires one hole to be drilled.)

Also, for inspection reasons, we got an extra hole drilled near the prep sink on the island near the dishwasher.  It's the air gap for the dishwasher that is required.  Since our dishwasher (newer model) does not actually need an air gap, we will be using that hole for our water purifier faucet.
