Especially the sink cabinet that will need a smaller sink, I know, why downsize, don't worry about it, there is a reason for it! I could put a piece of plywood in the meantime, that might be my only option.
Tinker, I have looked at the stock counters in Home Depot and Lowes and they're not what I'm looking for, but that was a good suggestion.
I've got a lot of counters to replace and since I am not planning on reselling, I'm quite content to go for the cheaper option that I wouldn't feel devastated if anyone damaged them by mistake. But maybe I will get swayed to stone so they get done faster!
If you haven't decided upon countertops yet, please send me a private message. We recently gutted and remodeled our entire kitchen. Home Depot's quote was 25% OVER our agreeded upon budget, whereas the contractor we used in nearby Orlando was 15% UNDER our budget for a fully custom kitchen! Using nearby Orlando contractors may reduce your overall cost and wait time becuase they have quartz & granite supply on-hand.
