I ordered in the first 20 minutes, so I got twice as much! And only 10.95 shipping. The aerial display is going to be amazing.Originally posted by old_gregg View PostComment

Interesting. I was out at the slab yard today and found none of this to be true, though I understand some of these things vary regionally. The quartzite was 10/sf less than the slabs I chose.Originally posted by Topper View PostComment

We went quartz 10 years ago because of the stain factor. Granite is porous and can stain, while quartz is sealed. Worth every penny.
Oh, and I started hiding our good knives because my kids AND my wife were cutting on it directly. Grrr.sigpic

It depends on the brand of quartzite. The version which was recommended to us, which I rejected due to price, would have tripled the cost of a new modest counter.Originally posted by Babs View Post
You can find expensive and less expensive in all of the materials. The price ranges are quite large"Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."

Is soapstone a soft stone or hard stone? What type of maintenance is required?Originally posted by old_gregg View Post"Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."

Here's what a quick search reveals:Originally posted by old_gregg View Post
Origin: Soapstone is a natural stone, like granite, that is quarried. It’s composed mostly of mineral talc, which makes it quite soft, but soapstone used for countertops typically has higher percentages of quartz in it, which makes it harder and more suitable as a kitchen surface.
Pros: Beautiful natural grey color, smooth matte feel, resistant to etching from acids, scratches can be sanded or oiled away; great surface for making pastries.
Cons: Requires maintenance; not as heat resistant as granite; not impervious to dents and scratches; regular oiling and buffing recommended; the color darkens with age (which may be a pro for some)."Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."

Soapstone won't work because I want a whiter stone. I went with leathered granite.Comment

I got my first Christmas letter of the season (November 16th?? Seriously?) and my friend from high school says she was diagnosed with shingles this year at the ripe old age of 39. Is this possible? I thought this was an AARP thing.Comment
