The countertops are going in as I type this. Thought I'd blog a little while I'm waiting for the installers to finish, and as much as they seem to be goofing off right in front of me this could take a while. We chose 3mm Quartz in "Mystic Black", being installed by New Century Countertops.

We didn't actually purchase them from New Century even though we had them quote the job originally. Nope, we used one of those fancy Lowe's 10% off moving coupons. New Century is the local installer for Lowe's and with our 10% off coupon they were cheaper than what New Century Originally quoted us. Funny how that works. Even so they were still cheaper than the other quotes we got. Someone once told me that there are 2 things you shouldn't buy from Lowe's, Kitchen Cabinets and Screws. Apparently those two items have the highest markup in the whole store and is apparently, "Where they make all their money." I don't know the validity of that statement but it definitely excludes kitchen countertops, especially with a moving coupon.
