A couple in Texas were
looking for new kitchen countertops and chose Canadian soapstone. They
ordered the stone and installed it themselves.
Here's how it worked
out.
From the kitchen cabinet drawings
the customer takes the proper measurements and divides the
countertop area into the appropriate stone sizes; keeping in mind
that the largest slab of soapstone that we quarry is 32" x
60".
Then faxes us the drawing.
They
also wanted a slightly larger sink with different sized
compartments and drain locations.
So
they faxed us another drawing showing us the drains and the size
of each compartment.
We
organized the drawing into a soapstone order and returned it to
them for confirmation.
Note
that the long section of counter (180") has been divided into
three separate stones; 7, 8, and 9.
Here
are the stones as ordered.
