Has anyone used "Neolith" for countertops (or been tempted to)?
Comments (176)Hi Everyone - we just had our Neolith Calcacutta counters in silk finish installed in our kitchen. I DO NOT recommend going with this product unless you are okay with a number of downsides. We utilized a certified Neolith fabricator who has lot of experience in working with this material. We did the mitered edges so that they were not white as well. Not only was this by far the most expensive product, but it was disappointing as well. You can see the white edges where it was mitered and there are defects from the moment of installation from which I was told are "normal" and acceptable. My seams (only two, that is nice) are VERY obvious and not what I would have expected. The material itself marks up when ANYTHING touches it basically. Put a cookie sheet on it and you have horrible black / gray marks everywhere that do not come out. I have been told you have to be willing to scrub it for that to happen and they recommended using acetone to get them out. Um....so now i am left with counters that cost me over $13k that I am not happy with from how they look (they look great from afar) and that mark up when anything touches it and I have to use a special something to try and get them out and that is not easy. If I could do it again, I would go with quartz or quartzite. These are not worth the pain and suffering along with the high cost and disappointing outcome. I went to some friend's house over the weekend where they had their new quartz counters installed, by the same fabricators we used and they look far superior to ours and they do not have the same issues. I read the reviews on here and chose it anyway and am devastated I did. I wish I had taken these reviews to heart and not listened to the fabricator's comments that these were one off experiences....See MoreDoes anyone know what this is that has been multiplying in my garden??

Comments (4)Definitely go. That's a long drive, but if you take the time to make some stops along the way, you can make a really terrific vacay out of it. I haven't been in a long long time, but it's not crazy busy like some of the other national parks. What makes it stunning is the number of environments you see in such a compact area... woods full of fir trees, granite topped mountains, Maine's rocky coastline, lakes, ponds, bays, sand beach...and of course even the McDonald's sell lobster rolls. (Of course what always cracked me up was, when we were in Maine, we saw signs in restaurants that said "fresh pacific salmon" and signs in Seattle that said "fresh maine lobster". Go figure!) I'm sure you'll get lots of input on things to see and do along the way if you let us know where you might want to stop and for how long. EG, you can stop in the Brandywine River Valley area, that's one of my favorite places to visit...Longwood Gardens, Winterthur, Hagley Museum, Brandywine River Museum, Nemours mansion. You can stop in Boston of course too......See MoreWorth a giggle; esp anyone who has been in the corporate world
Comments (16)Those were funny! When I worked (before children) I was fairly naive. I had a masters in my field, and was usually the youngest person at my level. I can’t remember ever feeling the need to keep quiet or defer to any of the males regarding any work issues. My boss was pretty much the same age as my dad, and was generally protective of me. However, I do remember a couple of times feeling uncomfortable (not even sure that’s the right word, I guess offended is more accurate) when I might be the only female in the company of my boss and his boss and the attorney…all much older. Since they basically saw me as a ”kid” they would at times talk over me. Ex: Traveling in a car after an important, multi million $ RE closing…the Boss’s boss kept talking about the bank’s attorney, an attractive mid-forties woman. He said, ” Nice carriage (body) but you can keep the helmet (face.)” I mean, seriously? It was just disappointing. Ofc, I didn’t say anything bc I was just kinda shocked/sad…but looking back I really should have. I know I wouldn’t have faced repercussions, and I think he literally just forgot I was in the car. I think it would’ve made him think if I had piped up. I was just naive and surprised that men their age and level would talk about women like that....See MoreRelated Professionals
