Has anyone tried DIYing granite countertops. I’m considering replacing my laminate countertops with Granite. It would be a huge cost saving to purchase online and DIY the install while learning something new. Now it seems like the traditional advice was that this is not a DIY thing although this may be a story put out by the granite installers to keep the prices high. Now there are a number of online places selling to DIY customers and also you can buy DVDs on how to work with and fabricate stone based countertops.
One such seller is based locally so the items can be picked up without having to pay for shipping plus they will cut fabricate things like bullnose and polish the counters to your specs.
Has anyone here installed their own granite countertops or even tried fabricating their own countertops. Any pitfall/problems that I should be aware of with this approach.
