Have Granite will travel!


Jimmy and our friend Paul, left out for Vegas on Monday morning, got to the granite shop and got loaded on Tuesday and are headed home via Albuquerque, so they can pick up the bags of American Clay (a sort of plaster for the inside of the house) and be home on Wednesday.

Railings arrived!


Today was a busy day....they brought my railings up from El Paso.
Found a great company named "ELITE", they do wroght iron, etc.
they are great.....nice design work and really fast. I wanted classy, but not too "frou frou".
Jimmy had forgotten to tell them that the floor level ws going to be different because of the Radiant floor heat tubing.....so they popped out a welder and fixed it! really cool...I think we'll be using them in the future.

Rack for Granite slabs!


Jimmy welded together a rack of steel to carry the granite slabs back from Las Vegas that we found when were at the builder's convention. We borrowed the flatbed trailer from a friend and bolted the steel to the floor. Jimmy is planning to pick up 9 slabs (what'd'ya want to bet he shows up with 10?) Our friend from Santa Teresa, Paul, is going along for the ride.
