Today.. I begin.
Go with concrete countertops, you can make them yourself, and they are way better looking than granite!
The polished finish is best!

They are actually quite beautiful. I watch a lot home improvement shows and they are using them in a lot of high end homes.http://www.google.com/search?q=ceme...a=X&ei=viDzULfmGqGyigLQvoHACA&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQIt sounds hideous, like something you'd see at a 1970s public swimming pool.
Well, there are drawbacks to them. Marble stains!No. Granite or Marble are, and always shall be, best.

So.. I'm going to be totally refurbishing and upgrading my kitchen from top to bottom.
Basically this is my list currently:
(What we've done already: Purchased the new appliances, got gas line installed for new oven/range.)
1. Strip out cabinets and appliances.
2. Strip out the linoleum.
3. Paint the walls
4. Add new lighting.
5. Flooring (tiles)
6. Drop electricity down for new oven (takes 110 rather than 220 as it is gas)
7. add venting for new oven/range (may not have to)
8. Cabinets
9. add in the appliances, measure for new granite
10. pull back out the appliances
11. add granite
12. backsplash
13. install appliances (first time was just for measurements, not installed)
Then we're done.
You have to hand mix 3/4 mix even1/4 mix will fail for countertops.I read that you have to be careful about chipping.
Granite is resilient but heavy, prone to damage if not maintained.No. Granite or Marble are, and always shall be, best.

This.
The oven is also a convection oven, along with the microwave (also a convection oven) giving me far more ability to cook at the elite level my ability permits.
I was watching a few videos. It appears as if I could do something like that with a little practice first. Although I can do all of the other stuff without practice. It looked interesting. Some of the effects are supercool. One I wonder if they used petrified wood and then finished the counter with the concrete...
I'm likely going to just have them measure, cut, and deliver the granite and install it myself (with help from a couple friends).
