Grinding and polishing turns out to be massively more work than I anticipated.

That's fantastic. I think stainless would be excellent for a house. Tough, easy to clean, sink can be seamless, can be polished or swirly.

Anyone know how much it costs to have a stainless counter with integrated sinks fabricated?
