so Dave, granite all good to go?
Close, but funny. We walked in a huge granite warehouse and the most beautiful slabs we have ever seen and the perfect colors were right in front of us. This distributor does not give prices you find something and your fabricator does the rest. Every slab we have liked has run between $2,500 and $3,800 installed and we need 1 or 2 depending on the slab size and patterns. Well my fabricator called while ago and he is a pretty funny guy and told me to sit down. Told him I was driving and he said pull off the road and put it in park.
$7,000 per slab
. He said he did not know anyone even stocked granite here that exceeded $5000/slab because there is just not much market for it. Now premium Italian granites can cost $$10-20k but you very rarely see those anywhere.
So needless to say that one is OUT! But we have 3 reserved to look at again tomorrow.
