Here’s the crew: Juan is the lead guy with the red cap. The rest of the crew is Carlos, Antonio, Lucas, Gabriel and another Juan.
Here is a link to more pictures taken of the crew installing the countertops. Notice the flooring was protected again for their part of the job.
They spent over 3 hours trying to get the countertop to fit all the way out to the window, fitting under the frame properly. Originally, the plan is to have the seam off to either side of
the counters. But the seam wound up down the middle of the window, through the sink. To us, it seems more noticeable because of the light coming through the window. So we called Thaddeus to send Jesus to have a look. Remember, Jesus is the one who measured the countertops and talked about how the granite was going to be fabricated and said the seams off to either side of the counter would be done. At least we have just one seam rather than 2 seams.

Overall, it looks great and I like the contrast of the black island with the white Caesarstone. In the middle of the night Max woke up and could not go back to sleep. He forgot to have the granite guys drill a hole for the disposal button.
So Saturday, Jesus and one of the workers, Antonio, came back to add more epoxy to the seam to make it less noticeable and drill a hole for the disposal button. They didn’t quite finish and will be back Monday to polish the granite. Today, Max told me that Jesus actually owns the fabricating company. We admire entrepreneurs and I thought, “Good for him.”

I'm interested in seeing if the polishing will make the seams disappear.
