Can I still 'pound' chicken breasts on granite?
Comments (20)Thanks for all the responses and the laughs! I use a quart size ziplock-- seems to hold up better for me than saran or wax paper. Yes, I am crazy about disinfecting! The counter and sink are off limits until I certify them CLEAN. (I'm actually a vegetarian and also get a little grossed out by the chicken juice. But, I do it for my husband who loves chicken rollups.) I will definitely use a cutting board underneath to protect the granite. Thanks again!

Comments (3)You're missing a few things off your list. 1. Blum drill jig (about 200 plus dollars. Accurately drills all three holes in seconds) 2.

Small Blum drilling template for position of base plate screws. 4.

Comments (59)I will post pictures tonight after I get home from work. I glanced at the counters this morning, and the caulk was drying clear but the thicker caulk was not clear yet. We used caulk in the bathroom recently that went on white and dried clear. There were parts of the dried caulk where it looked like you could see the rough edges through the caulk. I just have to look at it in more detail tonight. snookums - The granite fabricator is not the same company that is doing the floors. The floors were done by a sub through the GC. The granite fabricators were picked by the KD, and she's worked with them for several years. I am questioning her attention to detail as she said she had never really noticed before that granite could have chips in it like our island did. After I told her about ours she went home and discovered that she had them in the granite in her house and just never noticed. I am hoping that the wavy edge looks tolerable once the caulk is all dried. Some of the fabricators on GW seem to indicate that the wavy edges were normal and shouldn't be something I should complain about....See MoreCan I install Decomposed Granite On A Slope
Comments (1)The simple answer is YES. The slope you show appears to be short with a moderate gradient. Decomposed granite is fairly hard when compressed and less likely to be eroded, while still being permeable to rain. What I can't tell is how much water drains from uphill of this area. If your uphill neighbor's downspouts drain into this area the potential for erosion goes up and increases with the amount of rain received....See MoreLil B
