Sounds like someone's done this before. :-)

Once or twice ... now I just supervise.

Problem is, if you backcharge one of the current generation of trim
carpenters (or more often, one of his helpers) for a ruined countertop,
you stand a good chance of unseen consequences until it's too late
(that's spelled r-e-t-r-i-b-u-t-i-o-n, unfortunate, but always something
to keep in mind around a modern construction site).

Cheaper just to anticipate and make sure it gets done right.

(About the only place we do this anymore is in a remodel where the
client just wants to replace/repair what is already there and new
laminate is not an option).
