But it's been the counter in the last several places I've lived.<br /><br />Most of those places where you get that marble and granite have a place out back that they call a "boneyard." I got my counter from one of these. It came in two pieces, one cost 15 dollars and the other cost 8 dollars. Each has an uncut side. That side goes toward the wall. <br /><br />I tend to live in beater apartments - usually one big room, and it spruces up the crappy Home Depot counters that idiots who don't own a cutting board have ruined. Since it's black it doesn't stain, and I can plunk down a hot pot anywhere. I love my 23 dollar granite counter!geonni bannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13698766164965033468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-66770357476754659242016-02-15T06:37:55.194-05:002016-02-15T06:37:55.194-05:00The more you plan, the fewer surprises you will ha...The more you plan, the fewer surprises you will have during the work.
