on with Stone Rise to do the job (kitchen and bathrooms). Awaiting installation around July 23rd. Plumbing chores are included in price. Hopefully all will turn out well.
horsepuckey & baloney ! there aren't that many colors avail at u s quarries -k, dakota mahogany - milbank, sd; grey - barre, vt, & bluish-grey - elberton ga,,, the reason foreign granites are popular is cost & color. many blocks are quarried about the world & shipped to either china/india for processing then polished slabs are send to usa for fabrication. IF u s granite weren't any good, it wouldn't be used for monumental purposes !
besides, all states have radon - since tv houses are built on slabs, exposure to radon, as previously stated, is insignificant. add to this how often we open the doors, air exchanges are often.
