For those of you following some of my threads that I have made about a kitchen remodel I have been doing I now have new cabinets and I need to buy a granite counter top. I would like to have some tips on buying slabs and I have heard of pre-sealed slabs and also have heard of pitting. So are there countries that generally have bad slabs as I know they are sometimes imported.
I want to try to get the best granite I can afford while staying within budget and I want the best granite I can find. Note I am not asking for prices as I know that varies. Thank you in advance for your help.Read More
We had to replace our garbage disposal, so I decided to replace my kitchen faucet as well. My plumber/handyman was going to do both, but maybe you heard, we had a little water problem down here in Houston, :eek: and he is busy with bigger problems. (Like water in his own house!)
So we have done the faucet ourselves, did OK with that and now the garbage disposal. But my faucet came with a soap dispenser - never had one before, and I think it might be nice. How hard to drill another hole in my granite? We have a hammer drill and a good basic drill. Can you drill through granite with either of those and just a new drill bit? What kind of drill bit? My husband is leery.
Thanks in advance!Read More
