I used to save some change and stuff but it was annoying to count and roll it and then the bank would usually machine it anyway. Now, even many grocery stores have coin counters out so you can dump it in there and get a receipt to take to the cashier. But I don't do that anymore. I prefer to USE that change whenever possible. I do keep a few dollars worth of change in the vehicle so I have a little stash. There's been a few times I wanted to grab a couple dollars worth of gas or get a sandwich or have it to keep from piling up more change. I like keeping the folding money in my wallet rather than change in a bucket somewhere. I find it much easier to refrain from spending the money than many people do though. Just like on income taxes. I don't look at a tax refund as a "forced savings account". I don't LIKE paying in at the end of the tax year but I'd rather not give free use to a large amount.

Yep, just to add another bit of agreement on the issue. I just had my Caesarstone counters installed, and we have 3 locations where it was a tight "inside corner". I was asked to sign a waver that since they are less than the manufacturer's recommended 3/8's inch radius to "reduce potential crack propagation as recommended by the manufacturer's fabrication guidelines". I never heard of such a thing, so a quick search turned up the same facts on Caesarstone's literature. I decided to go with a 3/8's inch radius on the counter top, and allow for a seam by the "zero radius" kitchen sink to keep the tight corner there (sink location allowed for this very easily which may not be the case with your location.) In your pictures the edging does not look even at all though, and should probably be fixed, but I would expect to get smaller than the 1/4 the kris mentioned, and would be very hard to modify post installation (I would guess). The edging should be easily fixed on-site. My advice is only worth as much as you pay for it though, since I'm not a fabricator. ;-) I'll be posting pictures of my sink/cuts in a week or so.

I am throwing my hat in the ring here because the posts here FREAKED ME THE F OUT. I had this happen to me. I am embarrassed to say that I did this to myself basically. Filled house with toxic dust cloud, dust everywhere ETC. I was only wearing N95. My kids were upstairs in BED! I also want to inform everyone that I talked to 3 testing companies, 2 Servpro locations, an environmental engineer. And NO ONE told me to pay for professional mitigation, burn my house down, or even get tested for airborne silica. NO ONE. In fact, I was told not even to worry about cleaning out my vents, by this entire cadre of experts I assembled. Just deep clean the house and get up all the dust, and HEPA! Silicosis takes years to acquire, in very dusty conditions. Or you could literally snort the dust for weeks. In most cases, you can do that, and be fine (although there are several case studies in medical journals about people doing this and having acute, temporary respiratory affects), and of course I am not a doctor, and I advise against any of this. Finally, the dust is just dust, if its not airborne. It has to be RESPIRABLE. So when its all settled, you're good. The environmental engineer's advice was let the dust settle and clean clean clean. SO if you do this to your home, you will NOT get silicosis. You don't need to burn down your house. You don't need a pro cleaning crew even. You need to (1) get an airscrubber, I rented a pro one from sunbelt rentals, (2) get a HEPA vacuum, and (3) get a bucket and a mop for that Dusty *** Hardwoods you now have. Send the fam out, turn off the HVAC for a few hours, and get to work. HEPA vac everything, even up the walls if possible, work top down. Run your hands along surfaces, you will physically SEE the shiny crystals and fine layers of dust. Once done, HEPA the floor and then mop. Then wipe everything down with a wet cloth. Wipe it down! Admittedly I paid 3 people to do this with me over several days. And it sucked. But my house is fine. It cost $300 for the cleaning crew, $400 for a 1 day scrubber rental. House looks fine, all dust is gone, life is good. I even developed my own test. If you have dusty air in a room, put a little laundry detergent on the bottom of a glass cup upside-down. If you come back and its filled with dust, clean some more! As for the poor folks who went further measures: (1) the silica airborne testing is $400-600 - i got two quotes. They test for Respirable Crystalline Silica. Anyone can find some dust in a home and it'll have silica in it. Its gotta be in the air. To hit $5000 you'd need to test every room and have a big awesome house - congrats, you can probably afford some of these mitigations. Neither company wanted my money. I flat out asked one of them to take it and they said, no we don't want it you have to beg harder. (2) Regarding the ducts - the airborne silica is going to circulate ASAP, and then settle if its heavy, or continue getting cycled around if its truly respirable. Once it gets in your ducts, the stuff that's in there ain't moving. Its stuck. Its particles heavy enough to have deposited. Servpro and the testing companies told me not to bother. After careful conversation with several experts, my only conclusion is that the poor folks who have gone through intense mitigations were taken by the cleanup crews when they found their insurance would pay. The poor woman with silicosis from above...I can't believe it, and I'm not saying I don't believe it, but not a SINGLE person said that was remotely possible from a single exposure. And I have a close friend who is a cardiothoracic surgeon, who does LUNG TRANSPLANTS for a living and he said "you never take a history on a silicosis patient and they say 'oh d*** it was that one time we got granite countertops'". Calm the F down and clean your house. Learn never to do this again. DISCLAIMER: I am not a lawyer, doctor, remediation specialist or expert in anyway. By law, I implore you to completely disregard this post.

Morning, I'll be honest, I didn't really ask about the inside of the sink radius. Everywhere else is 1/8", corners etc and the reveal is flush. Our island is 9 x 4 as we were told that each slab can do 120" without a seam. We do have a seam along the cabinet wall, but its barely noticeable at all!!! We're blizzard ceasarstone as well. Love it. So far so good with the stain removal!!
