Template

The template was made for the new counter tops today. It was a fascinating process. First he ran a strip of masking tape around all the front and side edges of the counters and measured and drew lines and marked distances on the tape.

Then he got out a roll of wide tape with large black dots and patterns of small black dots and ran them the length of the counters on the wall and placed some strategically along the edges. He also scattered around the counters, white metal "plates" about 8 1/2 X 11, which were covered with patterns of small and large black dots. He then took digital photos from all angles including as high as he could reach. He said that they have computer software that knows the distances between the dots and makes the measurements and template. He also made a detailed drawing with the measurements on paper.

B. was a nice kid (um - young man), graduated from the local Weslyan Academy in 1998, and was shocked by our new elementary school that is going in. He made me think of Nephew M. We also talked dogs, he has a 15 month yellow lab and is a waterfowl hunter, and he and DH talked shot guns.
