Photo Tour: A Trip To The Stone Yard

Many folks who have renovated their kitchen or bathroom are familiar with stone showrooms. That’s where they go to select the stone product to be used in their project.

Because of what I do for a living, I get to peek behind the fancy showroom into the work areas of the fabricator. It’s a very dangerous place. You’ll notice the heavy stone slabs are strapped tightly to their frames so they don’t fall over.

Here are some tips for when you visit your stone fabricator:

  • Never just wander around these work areas. You or people working there can be seriously injured.
  • Do not let your kids just run around in there, either.
  • Don’t ask for the slabs to be “flipped” so you can see the ones in between. This is a sure way to tick off the stone guys.
  • The sink and other cutouts are not yours for free, and they are not sold at discount.
  • I took some snaps to share with all of you. The stone is very pretty in the bright sunshine.
