Hi Randy;
I'm not questioning your calculations, just commenting on your
unAMERICAN metric measurement. The US had a ban on metric delineated
products many years ago. Canada is much more intelligent than that.
454 grams of butter, 3.87 meters wide carpet, etc. HFSCYG? What a
crazy world we live in.
I thought I did take several pictures of your counter top but I can't
find them.

Anyway all granite that I've used in our remodels comes in cm thicknesses or thats what the suppliers spec.. I think my math is still correct for 1 sq/ft of 2cm (101/128")thick stone. BTW did you by chance take a pic of my counter at the Darrington rally?
