Legal question for the Home Depot crowd. We've been pricing granite for
our
kitchen remodel and find out that when one purchases a slab of granite
for
ones countertop, the part they have to cut out for the sink, although we
have paid for it, doesn't belong to us. Lowes/Home Depot keeps that
rather
large size hunk of granite that was cut out for the sink.

Legally, unless it's written in stone [ :-) ], tell them, "Thanks."
and let them keep the lot.

Someone's assuming that the "chunk" comes out in one piece. It
usually does not.

Kris

the granite place i stop in every now and then usually has pallets full of
sink cutouts that get hauled to the dump every week. i get them for free
just for asking. they are cut out with a diamond tipped cnc controlled
router, so frequently, if not always, come out as one piece with a very
rough edge.

note: home depot doesn't do the cutting. you should go to the actual
fabricators if you want the cutout.
