Got a bid back this morning for granite. Almost $4k for my little kitchen, I can't swing that.
If anybody has advice, I'm all ears.

Also, for large counters, will the cabinets need to be reinforced?
My stuff is so over built I'm not remotely concerned with how much weight is on them.
I can't go thicker than 1-1/4. I have a window that sits really low and the top will be going back to it and act as the jamb, then the casing and jamb extensions on the side will die into the counter top.
I'm debating whether to pre-cast them, or to pour them in place. I won't be able to polish them well on site without destroying everything else in there. A buddy poured his own a bunch of years ago and his had a bunch of texture, it was kinda cool, but......
Karl, could I make a suggestion? How about large granite tiles? With almost no seam/grout line, they look beautiful for a fraction of the cost.
