Granite savings??
Just read a great article about saving $$$ on granite countertops for your home. We replaced our dark Corian 2 years ago with light, swirly, gold-n-cream granite. We love it; but I could have saved money if I read this article first! My small granite instsaller was a joy to work with; and he sent me to 3 granite yards to pick out my slabs. WE BOUGHT 2 FULL SLABS. Just learned that if we would have gone to a "big box" store, they only charge for the ACTUAL square feet you use! For some folks, this could be a HUGE savings! For example: if you need 63 square feet, and 1 slab = 50 square feet, my way - you would have A LOT of left over granite that you paid big money for! Big box store way - limited selection- but much lower price. We had our scraps made into our backsplash (due to hubby and I disagreeing about tile to put there) and a small table for the patio. Also, ask the salespeople, in a nice way, if they are having any sales upcoming in the next few weeks. Who wouldn't wait 2 weeks to save 10-15%, right? OK, off to make some calls.... enjoy your week - leaves are changing!! Captain Diane in the Smokys
