Pharaoh x 3 for confused; please explain. I have a double bowl undermount stainless sink surrounded by a seamless single slab of silver sea granite. 11 years later it's still going strong. Not a crack or chip anywhere in the kitchen and I don't baby it. Hope I didn't jinx myself! Love the color and wish I could keep it for my remodel, but layout changes prohibit that. Dishdiva; how stressful! I'm glad they'll be replacing it. I'd insist on it. My sister experienced something similar. Big beautiful slab of granite for the island was installed with a crack. She saw it and made them replace it. Installed again and they used the same slab repaired with filling! Supposedly not noticed by the contractor when installed. Like sis wouldn't notice? Not a chance. She was livid, rightly so, and made them replace it with the new piece she picked out before the 2nd install. She has cream paint finish with a walnut island, Plain and Fancy I think and they were able to remove it twice without damaging the cabs and believe me if they did, she's have them replace those at their expense also. Hope that's reassuring. Love the color of your granite (green fan here) and what you've shown so far and I look forward to seing your finished kitchen. Please keep us posted. I've got my fingers crossed that 3 times the charm!

Convicts sit on death row for years because we have a justice system that entitles them to appeals. It's what sets our system apart from other less civilized places even though it costs a lot of money. I suspect that prison was not very well managed and that many changes will take place. I wouldn't necessarily call it corruption, just laziness, complacency, and perhaps lack of supervision. I spent several years working in a treatment facility for juvenile offenders. Although it was not secure (meaning locked), it was a residential facility and kids were committed there against their will. There were incredibly strict protocols in place to protect both the residents and the surrounding community. Some of these boys were so intelligent and engaging; I'm not surprised that Mitchell got taken in by one of them. Sociopaths are incredibly good at manipulating people.

Yet in others (at least in N.O.) trellis or "decorative" fence toppings, wiring don't count. But, yes she needs to check. @ Isabella, I still think you have a blank canvas for a really lovely yard. If you think about it, your 2nd story view isn't a whole lot different than ANY urban view of your neighbors once you get your yard looking nice.
