Home Depot Apologizes to Pencil Thief
"SMS" wrote in message ... tiny dancer wrote: Thanks for your opinion. It's back to the drawing board for me on sink/countertop choice. The only thing I know for sure is I want one large sink rather than the double sink. I want something I can fit very large pots/pans into, like the turkey pan tomorrow. And I'd like a brushed nickle faucet. Here the granite appears to be quite a bit more expensive than the other choices. I want to say it ran around 90 some dollars a square foot. Where as the Corian I believe started in the forty dollar range. In the SF Bay area, granite is far less expensive than the synthetics, such as Corian. There is a tremendous amount of granite from China coming in now, and a great many Asian-owned stores competing in the granite business. I wish we had available your choices. We are in the southeast, and live in an area where 'do it yourself-ing' isn't very widespread. When we first moved here from the Midwest, there was only one hardware store. Since we've been here things have improved 100 %, but it's still hard to find places, other than the large stores like Home Depot or Lowes, that will deal with customers who aren't contractors. Of course for the counter tops we will go with professional installation. But my husband and I enjoy doing things like tileing ourselves. We had a contractor do one of our bathrooms, and then did the master bath ourselves a few years later. We really love the bathroom we did. The contractor's is just so/so. My husband wants to do it over himself. Another thing we've found here is that although someone comes out and gives you an estimate, many times the crew he sends out to do the job appear to be day-laborers. td |
