Kitchen counters

Well, I got up this morning to the same old Yucky wooden things we put on the cabinets so the coffee pot wouldn't fall through.
   
I must admit I was pretty sick and tired of these things.  They were ugly, hard to clean, and gave you splinters if you looked at it funny. 
The countertop dude told me three days. Once I had my down payment down, that is.  That was three weeks ago..  Three weeks after I put my down payment down.  I was tired of the wood stuff (not the word I was thinking of but it will do) and getting really teed off at the countertop dude. But.............
I turned around twice and all my stuff was missing.   I had a sink
   but it was gone!!!!  There was a dishwasher...I know there was I emptied it this morning
  but it is missing.....Dishwasher thieves?????  And just exactly where did my brand new stove go
  Not to mention the yucky wooden stuff!!!!
 
WELLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!! The countertop dude did say he would be here a 10:00 A.M.  Ok so he made it by 10:10.  but he didn't come back in one hour like he promised and he didn't get everything done by 1:30 P.M. I still am not sure about the time he rang the front door bell and came in after I opened the door, walked out the back door never to be seen again!!!But he did have some very sweet young men working for him and they did show up by 2:30.  Took them until after 6 P.M. to get it done.  But I think you will agree they did a very fine job!!!
