We had shopped around four stores for the granite counter. The absolute best place for granite in the Montreal area is Italbec (italbec.com) with the price about $1500 below the next best price. We had chosen 3/4″ Caledonia with standard nosing, however, for only about $500 more we went with the 1 1/4″.

The whole project started on Monday morning and was done by Friday afternoon – only two and a half days without a kitchen sink!

What really sucked here is when we took off the ceramic there was a goddamm sheet of 1/4″ plywood.  More work!

Let’s put some of waterproof gypsum board (or gypse) for the back wall.
