I don't close until Jan. 15. but I think this can be fixed. If they take the countertop off and move it over and make the line smaller.
Do you think I am expecting too much? I looked at others that have granite and the lines are very small. It wouldn't be so bad but it is on breakfast bar. I tried to work with the sales people but they say this is acceptable Village standards. I have asked for that standard. They also said I signed a document that I have to take the granite as is. I don't see this document in my papers I signed. They said I have to get it fixed after closing and I have to pay for the repair.
If anyone knows of someone who can repair granite, I would appreciate his number. I would drop out of the deal but I already paid for loan appraisal and there are no more with 2 car garages in Marianna. I like that location because I can walk to the new Eisenhower.

Try to have a sit down with your sales person and your construction super to see if something can be worked out. Have you tried to get your sales person to have it fixed as a condition of your referring future business his or her way..
