My husband works for Sam's Club, and they do not take those check/coupons. My DS is on Isomil Similac and we have found the best deals at Walmart. For some reason, the Walmart by our house offers the huge can (1lb,14oz) for 2 dollars cheaper than the walmart by my work. My DH says it is b/c the income level is lower where we live. Anyway, the formula is always $15.54 and w/ a $2 coupon, it's only $13.54. At Kmart or Fry's, the SAME can is $22.50. The difference is amazing! Andrea

I would paint some swirls on the wall, or hire someone to do so, l and then cover with plexiglass. My guess is the plexiglass will cost more than the swirls, depending on the size of the wall. You could also get a similar look for less by omitting the plexiglass and covering the wall and painting with high gloss poly to give it a similar reflection.

I am a fabricator. $100 - $180 per sq ft. is correct but that is a BIG range and very high even at the $100/SF. Cambria has exclusive marketing arrangements which are designed to inflate the price. Unless your decorating scheme absolutely requires a Cambria color you can get similar or near identical colors from other slab suppliers for much less. I disagree with the assertion that Cambria has some magical process that makes their colors better. Decide for yourself by getting samples of Cambria and other quartz brands and putting them side by side in good light. Cambria's magic is in their marketing where they try to convince the public that their countertop material, made on same Breton production lines as every other major brand, is somehow much better. If you send a sketch of your layout or cabinet drawings to a couple fab shops you should have some idea of pricing within a day or two. Specify the Cambria color you like but note "or equivalent" so the fabricator can provide pricing based on alternate material(s). Some shops insist on measuring because they believe it gets the customer to feel obligated. A good estimate can easily be done off drawings; I've done thousands that way.

That is about 9' ceiling height, possibly 8'6" but do not think so. There is no way anyone here can even venture a guess as to the cost of a house based on the little info offered. Even if you had 100% drawings of the entire house it is still next to impossible for anyone to venture anything other than a complete wild a** guess.
