Twenty 12-in sq. granite tiles; WWYD?
Comments (8)Steiconi! Your outdoor shower sounds wonderful! LOL While I was in photojournalism tech school for the USAF, a lifetime ago, we had a long list of words that we had to spell, on demand and correctly, at all odd hours of the day or night. Camouflage was one of them. As one of my airman once asked me, "You can't spell your own name correctly; why are you the Editor?" Be that as it may, I could spell "camouflage;" and as the ranking Editor, I could task him to check all the spelling. This was so long ago we published newspapers on typewriters, used bees wax to paste up the dummies, and checked copy with a dictionary and thesaurus. Oh for the good ole days. I went through the transition of doing them on the computer and sending the pages to the printing press through the telephone line. I'd have to stay late to make sure all the pages went through; it was very slow. I much preferred the old school way of publishing....See MoreAck! Hole cut too large in granite for my prep sink!
Comments (14)Wow. Not good. Going through something similar right now. Wife and I are redoing the master bath. Using a company I have dealt with for years and know well. 2 Kohler 2882 rectangle sinks. Cutout should be 17 x 12 9/16 and they cut 17 x 13. No lip overhang on front and back and you can see the gap underneath. Waiting on template because they evidently didn't use the one you download from Kohler. Had a long talk with their head guy and he suggests bigger sinks which is ok if we can find one. Other option is he said has no money in it and would consider refunding my money and ending the deal instead of basically paying me and putting in a new top. Seriously? I did not cut it out, they had the sink to go by and we are not happy with how it looks. I have been building cabinets for 30 years in high end homes and if I make a mistake (which rarely happens because I am meticulous on dimension taking) I build it over and fix it. Not happy right now with what is developing but will know more hopefully in a day or so when they see the Kohler template in person....See MoreGranite Installers installed wrong sink!
Comments (5)You'll probably like the new granite as much if not more over time. Trying to live with a "backwards" sink is not something you'll probably learn to love over time though! Be grateful they're not giving you a hard time about fixing it. If you're really worried, go check out the new granite slab and that might make you feel more comfortable....See More? for Crafty Folks; 20 granite tiles; WWYD?
Comments (15)I agree, they are so ugly; and to think someone cut a large chunk out of the oak floor to set them in. Geesh. I need a lot of stepping stones in the large cottage garden, and at first was excited thinking they would work, and blend into the dirt colors. I'm back to thinking 12-inch exposed aggregate circles will be my best choice. Still, I wanted to see "ideas." Nicole; I love the stonework you've done. Off to post on FreeCycle now. Someone will use them....See MoreHolly- Kay
