The retail on my appliances was as follows:$10K Fridge.
For $2500, it wasn't spiffy granite. There are several factors in stone.
Yes, it was/is.
Seriously? That is pretty insulting, even for you.
WTF is wrong in the SW.
Having visited most of the stone yards in the valley, I'd like to know where they got spiffy granite for so cheap. Granted, a good deal of the cost is in the fabrication/install (with profit built in for fabricator), but the material itself isn't cheap. I only had two slabs, and mine installed was $4200 IIRC. Fabrication was less even on mine because there is no edge lamination/special finishing, just solid, FAWKING HEAVY slabs.
You bought your's at home depot, didn't you?WTF is wrong in the SW.
I bought granite based on square footage needed, regardless of remnants.
Price included one of two simple edges. Sink, and hole were free.
Installation was included in the sq ft cost.
Measure the sq-ft of granite needed. Multiply by 26. That's your price.
There are some pretty stones out there. They are fawking insane expensive though. I was ALMOST swayed into Granite again, but I hate granite. PITA it is.
HD was substantially more. There are hundreds of different granite installers/kitchen remodelers in metra ATL. I picked up the phone and started getting quotes.
Spiffy is relative. I kind of think of granite as having 5-10 colors/styles that are very common. They chose a type that I have never seen before, nor had the granite people. It had come in on their last truck, and was the first time they had ever gotten that style. It wasnt the most expensive on the lot, but it wasnt common. Keep in mind how much cheaper stuff like that is out here, as well. You live in Phoenix, we are in TN. Finlay is in GA. Lower COL, less expensive materials.
Blasphemy. I use mine all the time.
I fear for your cabinets when your daughters decide to draw on them with their Crayola's.
Hard to draw on things twice with a broken hand..
Yeah, a couple of nice lumber yards. My uncle gets wood from them when he is building furniture for people.
I didn't even know they made material as nice as the stuff my cabinet builder used. That plywood is the chiznitz. The "furniture grade" junque they sell at home Depot shouldn't even be considered plywood by comparison. I've got some scraps of it he left somewhere, I'll try to see if I can find them for a cross section shot.
sounds like the nice baltic birch that's available
subzero = ~$10k but that's about as highend as you'd ever go and that is rare.$10K Fridge
My granite was $26/sq ft (3cm, bullnose, installed with a sink). It went into a second slab. Find a place that charges by the sq-ft.
I think it can be done for under $10K if he watches his pennies.
