You have to submit a Modify Domain form to have the nameservers changed to
the granitecanyon.com servers.  You also need to get your domain removed
from the worldnic.com servers; I don't know what the precise form for this
is, but it should be somewhere on the NSI web page.

All those numeric fields belong in the SOA record, not the RP record.  The
RP record needs to be indented to make it a continuation of the
buildershardware.net name, and it's missing a field.  It should look
like:

buildershardware.net.  IN SOA ns1.granitecanyon.com. ray.intertrick.org. (
				69154405
				10800
				3600
				604800
				43200 )
                       IN RP ray.intertrick.org. ray.buildershardware.net.
ray.buildershardware.net.  IN TXT "Ray Demaps"

>Receive mail to our domain

You should add an MX record:

buildershardware.net.  IN MX 10  buildershardware.net.

Get the DNS&BIND book.
