Busy day today. We picked out and bought the granite for the kitchen, utility and master bath. The granite is finished in a leather texture which really complements the stone pattern.  The backsplash we like is the top polished marble tile. We also covered up the sheet metal per manufacture's recommendation and installed some motion sense lighting (post) and always on lighting (two in back) to add a bit of security while the steel waits for construction. The visqueen covers also keep nosy people from the most suseptable theft.
