You need to hone it out then polish smooth, so there are no sharp edges.

LOL! The contractors thoroughly cleaned it. I wouldn't call it brand new, but it was clean. Plus it's only my truck and I never sit in the back seat, so there's that.

On the edges, I can do that, but might like sharp edges. No kids.

what does you wife say about the used toilet, or she doesn't know?

Try this stuff for polishing. Just make sure you SO NOT use a 4" grinder. RPM is way too fast and dangerous.

[Shaun @ Tru6]

No wife! Pros and cons to that. One of my friends gave me grief for buying a used toilet. It's a piece of porcelain, and I got a new seat. And I have used the bathroom at friend's homes, restaurants, soooo... I am psyched about it, the look is perfect.

which stuff? Blade will be here Friday at the earliest to see if I can cut the granite with any skill.

sorry.

[Shaun @ Tru6]

Faucet, perfect, and saw blade came in today, waiting on sink.

Have to choose the right white. I think very bright will be best but there are some beautiful ultra-light greys too. Hard to get a good picture.

[Shaun @ Tru6]

I can't believe someone would charge $280 for this. Cake with 25 year old saw that did a nice job. Have to get a 1 3/8 grinder/hole saw still for the faucet and might get a 1" or 3/4 one for a smaller radius for the sink opening. Will decide when the sink comes in. Also if I'll polish the edges. They turn very light grey when the water dries. Might be a nice contrast.

Got to do some cutting today but quickly realized you want to do this fresh, not after putting an 86 short shifter and sway bars in. Cut the slab down to a manageable size, I decided to stop here and will make a wood base for the finished outer and inner cuts, will be easier I think. Definitely fun. Long day, I'm beat.

How will you cut the hole for the sink?

Looking good Shaun!

Wow Shaun, looking great. You are one of those guys that do everything yourself, and you do them very well.

Gray is a very nice color. I must warn you, it changes color during the day and its almost a different color all together during the evening. Paint a large section of the wall with the actual paint you will use and go away for lunch and look at it after that and come back to it in the evening for gray's true color. I push for gray for lots of homes we work on. My own home is medium gray color.

Four, 5/8" holes to locate the sink and then sink the saw down into the granite. I expect this will be a challenge at the corners as I wanted a small radius to match the sink. 1" holes would be easier with a lot of extra room to account for the arc of the blade. Also have to make a tall fence so I go down in straight. It will be a challenge.

Thank you Sid.

Thank you Jeff, very much appreciated! Let's wait until we see the finished product to judge though. I think age has taught me to go slow, that's a big help.

Good advice. I ended up with Behr's Frost in eggshell for the walls, a fairly bright white that isn't sterile. Vanity will be a very deep black in satin and will make pulls from Al C-channel from Home Depot. Might polish them. I priced black veneer and couldn't justify it. Trim I may go with Behr's French Silver, it's right in the middle of greys with either red in them or blue in them.

Post a pic or two of your grey if you don't mind, would like to see it.

Hi Shaun, here's the gray that look 171 used in our kitchen, and we're using it in two of our bedrooms. Behr Premium Plus Ultra, Fashion Gray, matte.

Looks good jim! We are wanting to do something similar

[Shaun @ Tru6]

Thanks for posting Jim, I like the grey a lot. May have to rethink my bedroom colors using something like this. I have had one wall grey for a while, but it's more of a vintage grey which matched my old furniture, and a gift from China. Recently did the my bed headboard wall in navy (this is what kicked off the whole thing, lamps have to go or be repurposed) and was planning on Glidden Icy Waterfall, a very light grey, for the rest of the room.

There's a lot of grey in this thread.

Someone had to say it.
