About a month ago, I wrote an update on our upstairs bathroom remodel. To recap: after a couple of disappointing contractor visits and bids, I decided to call Janet, our previous project manager at Lowe's. You may recall that in 2016 we hired Lowe's Remodeling Services for our gut kitchen renovation. After that phone call, I…

The kitchen remodel is creeping along. We have discovered that even hiring out most of the project to the Lowe's remodeling team does not mean that we can escape the fact that the last 10% of all remodeling projects seems to take 90% of the time.

What a difference two weeks makes. The Silestone countertops from Lowe's have been installed, and we nearly have a functional kitchen, friends. Silestone Countertops from Lowe's I am not going to waste your time chit chatting. I will get right to the photos. The counter arrived in three pieces. I did not stick around to watch…
