About This Section

This section of Grain Slab Notes deals with custom countertops in Austin, TX and nothing else, which is what allows it to get specific.

Limits

Guides describe the general case. Site conditions, existing construction and local code can all override what is described here.

Why the Focus Is Narrow

This section does one trade in one market, and leaves the rest alone. Austin, TX has its own conditions, and guidance written for somewhere else is often quietly wrong here.

How the Guides Are Written

Articles are written to be read once, before a decision. The decisions a homeowner makes are almost always about specification and sequence, not about how a tool is held.

Commercial Position

Grain Slab Notes has no stake in which firm a reader ends up hiring. It describes how work is done and what it costs, and takes no position on who should do it.
