Default Can granite be cut after it is installed?


My contractor installed our base kitchen cabinets wrong and the granite
installers followed suit and installed the granite slab on top. I need
to know if I take out 1 cabinet on the end, can the granite be cut 4"
shorter? If it could be done, then I could install the new base
cabinet and my refrig. will fit and I wouldn't have to strip out a wall
and get a different refrig. that I really don't want. Please help!!!!!

You are really asking in the wrong place. The basic answer is,
yes, it can be cut in place. The mess will be substantial. If
they cut the granite with a wet saw there will be a lot of slurry.
If they cut it dry, . . . All round saw blades can only get
about so close to the wall. The edge(s) cannot receive the same
treatment as the shop finished ends. It will make some difference
as to how they fastened the pieces to the cabinets, they may have
to completely destroy the existing base cabinet.

Ask the granite contractor!

Will these "changes in life" include becoming a scum-sucking spammer
like gani? Gargling a strong lye solution will make some changes too but
no sane person would want them. But you might want to try it...
