Glad it helped!

I usually use 2" screws. the point of the screw will slightly pop thru. However, you will never see, touch or notice this.

Sorry for late response. Crazy busy! These sizes are in inches. Here is a list of the trowel size that is most likely going to work based on the tile size. But I would still test it. A 3/16-inch to 1/4-inch V-notch trowel works best for up to 4.5-inch mosaic or wall tile. A 1/4-inch by 1/4-inch Square-notch trowel should be used for 4-inch to 8-inch tile. A 1/4-inch by 3/8-inch Square or U-notch works for 8-inch to 16-inch tile. And 1/2-inch by 1/2-inch Square or U-notch works for tile that is 16-inches and up.

Sorry for late response. Crazy busy. Sounds like a great project. Good luck and have fun!! There is a buffing pad that you can buy from your supplier. Here is a link to the one that I use. You can also buy a set of pads which usually includes this pad. I usually wet buff. www.bbindustriesllc.com/viper-diamond-granite-wet-polishing-pad-4-buff-light-and-dark-stone.html

@designbuildandfix thanks for letting me know! Will definitely get that!!

On this floor I have standard 3/4" tongue & groove 7 ply plywood. This sets on 11" I joists 12" on center. The floor is very stiff because I designed it for a hot tub to be placed on it but then changed my mind and put it out side. Hope this helps and thanks for commenting.

Polishing or sanding is nothing more then scratching a surface with finer and finer scratches. If you don't remove the larger scratches left by the previous pad the surface will shine up but you will see those scratches left from before making the surface look horrible. I have done this many times trying to save time only to have to go back to the grit that I left the scratches' with. Usually in my case it is with the 100 grit pads. However, I don't see them until after the 800 grit pads because that is when the shine starts to appear. Just pay close attention to what the edge looks like after you have finished with that grit. If there is a spot that does not look like all the rest, go back and touch that area up. Hope this helped. Thanks for commenting.

All machines will be different. I set mine at 3 or 4. The manual for the machine will tell you what the RPMs are for that setting you are on. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks for watching.

Projects like kitchen remodels can be very over whelming. You can do it. Just take your time. It is not a race. Think things through before you do them and it will come out amazing. As far a a special blade for cutting Luan. I would purchase a blade that has a least 40 teeth for your 7 1/4 circular saw.. These are more of a finishing blade. Have fun and good luck with your project.

I always use solid blocking that is glued and screwed.

Hi. I am not sure of the question. We do not use any oil.

The angle grinder can be used for many things. It can have the standard diamond tipped blade for cutting or shaping. You can also install a hook and loop pad for the polishing pads to attach to so you can polish the edges of the stone. Finally you can attach a profile bit to grind the edges down to create the edge profile for the stone. They all will take a 5/8 arbor which is standard for these machines. thanks for commenting and asking the question.

You can do it. It really is pretty easy with some basic hand tool skills. Thanks for commenting!

It was a 2012 E450 shuttle bus.

Here is the edge router bit link that I use. www.bbindustriesllc.com/alpha-vacuum-brazed-profile-wheels.html The polishing pad method does not give you an exact profile over the length of the countertop. When finished you can feel and see the in perfections in the edge. thanks for commenting.

I like the look of the diffuser that extends from the floor as opposed to out of the wall. Also, if it come out of the wall I have one more item to cut drywall around and another weak link in the thermal envelope. Just my thoughts. Thanks for commenting.

@@designbuildandfix I think he was saying put the register out from the wall in the floor, not up the wall further. I'm gonna do the same thing. I have the corner look

@@designbuildandfix Thanks, I meant flush to the floor. I'm putting new wood floors in so easy to change now.

You are welcome. Thanks for commenting.

Sounds like a fun project. Good luck and have fun.

You are right. Thanks for the info.

You are welcome.

Glad you liked it.

I have to admit. It is the high end of the do it yourself spectrum. Thanks for commenting.

Glad you liked it!!

Glad this could help you. Thanks for commenting.

I use this product form BB Industries. Here is the link for sealers and enhancers or just sealer. www.bbindustriesllc.com/sealers-adhesives-cleaners/sealers/stone-shield.html

Wow. I didn’t expect a reply. Thanks so much for the link!!

Glad you liked it. This will help with leveling but it will only go so far. Should work for laminate flooring.

Usually if the granite is still a little cloudy it is because some of the larger scratches left by a previous sanding pad was not fully removed. I have had this happen to me. The only fix is to go back and start the polishing process over again. I would first try a small section and see if that fixes it. You will know for sure by doing this. The enhancer will bring the colors out but will not remove the cloudiness from polishing. Here is the brand that I use. www.bbindustriesllc.com/sealers-adhesives-cleaners/sealers/stone-shield.html Granite fabrication is very stressful. I remember my first slab. Very stressful. It gets easier. Thanks for watching and fabricating your own tops. Very rewarding.

@@designbuildandfix Thanks for your continued help and understanding. I'm learning lots, but it really is an undertaking.

Glad you enjoyed and I could help. Thanks for watching.

Glad I could help.

You can transport the granite slabs or the finished countertops for many many miles as long as they are strapped well and you are using a well built trailer A frame that is screwed or bolted to your trailer. I would have no worries transporting them the distance you are talking about.

Sorry for the late response. Crazy buy schedule. The marker I use I get from BBIndustries. Here is the link to the product. www.bbindustriesllc.com/skm-industrial-grade-white-paint-marker-w-metal-tip-01295.html The hole size for the faucet is a 1 3/8". The corners for the sink cutout is a 3" and the round over bit for the edging is a 3/8" All can be found at BBIndustries. Here is the link to the home page. www.bbindustriesllc.com/?msclkid=40b54be548e81bdff3222dac3fc956f2&US%20Search%3A%20Branded%3A%20Braxton-Bragg%20-%20JF&Braxton-Bragg If you are concerned with rust you can use either fiberglass or carbon fiber rodding. Here is a link to the place where I buy all my supplies. it will take you to the page. Just scroll down to see the different types. www.bbindustriesllc.com/sinks.html My next countertop for the lake house teardown rebuild series I will be using either the fiberglass or the carbon fiber. I have to due some more research on it. Thanks for watching.

I would have to see a picture to fully understand.

You are welcome.

Sorry for the late response. Crazy busy schedule. I usually set my grinder to 2. I use that for all my operations. Thanks for watching.

It has to be tight but not supper tight that the screws pull out. The silicone also gives some support. I have a tendency to overtighten everything and I have not pulled any screws out or deformed the sink. However I would recommended using a heavier gauge sink. thanks for watching. Hope this helped.

I have never done this. I would think it would, being it is 3/4 plywood. However, I am not sure.

Hi. I believe the granite for this job was 2 slabs and the cost was about $1200. I did pay $1200 for a remnant piece from a fabricator that was a little less then a half sheet. I did this because I had no other options. I did save about $12000 or so on granite countertops for a high end rental I built. That savings was from a quote I got from Home Depot to do the job. Granite is pretty easy to do. You just have to be careful not to crack it when moving the sheets or pieces. Also very careful to not drop it on yourself. You only have to have patience's on the edging, polishing and the seaming. I will have more granite videos out from the lake house tear down rebuild series I am doing now. Videos are coming out slowly based on the time needed to build this cottage. If you are a good DIY person you should be able to do this easily!!! Anyway here is the link to this series. ua-cam.com/video/sUn_gg8y5U0/v-deo.html

@@designbuildandfix perfect, I’ll be watching out for them. Thank you

Hi. I have not gotten to that point yet. However, I will put out some more videos on how to put textures on surfaces to make the house look more realistic. Here is link to a series I am doing now with a SketchUp rending of the project. This is probably a good example of what you want to do. Here is the link to the video. ua-cam.com/video/sUn_gg8y5U0/v-deo.html

Mounting brackets with screws is a really good option. You will be surprised as to how much screws can hold. I will be coming out with more granite videos when I do the granite for the lake house tear down rebuild series I am doing now. In these videos I will be showing how to use the drill in clips. These are better and easier if you have the right drilling equipment. If you don't have the right equipment the bracket system shown is a really good option. Here is the link to that series. ua-cam.com/video/sUn_gg8y5U0/v-deo.html Videos are coming out slow because of the time needed to build the cottage.

The piece in the video took about an hour. The whole countertop for this job was about 6 hours. Glad it was helpful!!

I get all my equipment from BB Industries. They are great and have people who can answer many of your question. Here is the link to the site. www.bbindustriesllc.com/
