how you two friends this is Brad so
today in this video I just want to share
with you some of the things that I've
learned along the way on our search for
granite countertops today is the
installation of our countertops and I'm
really excited to share some of that
with you let's get started that's it our
granite slab is called horizon it's a
tier 4
[Applause]
there's our slab
you know you get your best seam and then
also at the same time getting the best
lot of character in here Peninsula I
also have a spot here that was trying to
avoid
back in that corner there yeah
first one is the pencil edge that's what
we have there's no extra charge for that
cut then all these other ones there's an
extra charge these other cuts would be
$250 or more here they're prepping for
the installation of our under counter
kitchen sink here we're removing the old
cast-iron porcelain sink and you can see
the old counter tops
we did reuse the faucet it was in great
shape it was only a year old and it was
heavy
got it our new kitchen sink is called a
Deerfield model number K - five 873 it
is cast iron an acid resistant enamel
finish it cost six hundred and ninety
five dollars as I mentioned earlier our
granite countertops are a tier for the
price for them is approximately thirty
nine hundred dollars we could have went
with a Tier one which is mostly like
blacks and whites and grays and respect
those less painting could have spent
probably in the low 3000's for that
higher tiers cost more often they're
nicer but not always sometimes it has to
do with just how rare it is besides
Gray's blacks and whites Organic
countertops have a little bit of red a
little bit of brown and I think it's a
good idea because that gives you more
options for different colors in your
kitchen down the road
besides granite there's a lot of great
options for countertops however we
decided to go with granite because it's
bringing the outside in it's like the
beauty of nature in your home our
installers best guests for the weight of
this piece was at least 200 pounds
probably even more as we're going ahead
with our kitchen remodel we're trying to
respect the concept of return on
investment I think that installing
granite countertops will definitely
deliver
for comparison purposes here's the old
countertop on the peninsula
when deciding how to cut your granite
slab on the peninsula they try to have
the veins going at an angle
we had them cut the peninsula piece such
said it was about three inches shorter
than it was that way there was some
space between the edge of the counter
and the refrigerator so two people could
walk side by side and not bump into each
other like they had in the past we had
recently purchased a counter depth
refrigerator and this also gives extra
space we also had them extend the
counter tops an extra three-quarters of
an inch over the base cabinets this
helped to hide some imperfections at the
top of the base cabinets and also to
give us more counter space I forgot to
mention earlier but we also widened the
peninsula by an inch or two that way
when we're sitting on the stools our
knees no longer hit the base cabinet we
also went with stools without a back
because in the past the back would turn
into the countertop and we noticed there
was a lot of Nicks that were beginning
to appear
this is a seam setter which also helped
to level the scene
part is Iraq hey huh
it's a little dark the second coat and
put a little light
friends together so this is a
cleaner it's sealed when it comes the
granite shop just installed our granite
counters and they are fantastic so we'll
be having a kitchen revealed down the
road here with our remodel but I just
want to show you how beautiful these
counters turned out I mean it is like
