My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

The Granite Lemon Test

13 years ago

So, I'm searching the web for granite fabricators in my area. Then I found this wisdom:

"If you leave a lemon slice all night on a sample of your granite counter top, and you can see that it has eaten away the finish, YOU DO NOT WANT THAT GRANITE! Choose something that can withstand the acid of the lovely lemon! "

Just bought a bag of lemons, and I WILL be testing!
