There's something wrong here. If you're buying a certain number
of square feet of granite, you should get that. If you're buying
a countertop with a sink cutout, that's a different issue.

And if the latter, if they didn't keep the cutout, they'd simply charge
an equivalently higher cost/sq ft so OP would come out the same on a per
sq ft basis...


So the solution is for you to just order granite and cut it
yourself. You'll get every bit of the remains. And think of
the money you'll save!

Yeah, I just assumed we'd get that hunk of granite, but we don't if we buy
through Home Depot or Lowes. One of the sales associates said 'he thinks
they use those pieces for backsplashes and then you pay for that section all
over again in the back splash measurement. So in effect you are paying
twice for that same piece of granite. I can't recall how much it is a
square foot, but we are talking about between three and four thousand
dollars worth of granite, so that section cut out for the sink has to be a
couple hundred anyway.

Going to Home Depot for a granite job, and then letting their wannabe
derelict contract installers do the job ................


What's wrong with this picture?

WAIT, WAIT, I KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS ONE!
