Comments (16)ponydoc~ I just looked last night for photos from you but didn't see any new ones since the clutter room. Hope I didn't miss any new progress.. I love seeing your home take shape! :o) We're only "in" because of a few tornado warnings (better than our RV... LOL) and because we were tired of living in the mud in the backyard with our RV. But we're close to being finished. I will share photos soon so you can see. :o) bellamy~ Good advice. I actually did take photos of all the other stone for the house, mostly to show dh and my children. I just didn't photo all of the copper canyon slabs they had (large amount). They are in sequential order. I really think they just "flipped" my one stone from end to end on accident. They did not say I couldn't choose my slabs. I looked at the top three and said they looked great. We needed 3. I have a photo of those 3. I chose them. I just didn't tag them with my initials, but I was next in line for fabrication of that particular stone. They did not change my stones or give me an ugly one or a lesser one. They gave me those 3. It appears they just "flipped" the long counter piece and ogeed the wrong edge. I also went during fabrication and took photos of them working on our island top (they called to invite me, as I told them I wanted some since I scrapbook. They weren't trying to hide a mismatched stone from me that day. They showed me all of our pieces, and with pride. They looked great). Of course, I did not ask them to lay out all of my touching slabs so I could see if they all matched up. That is the only mistake. Human error. The wrong end of the slab was apparently pieced near my sink instead of at the end of the long counter. I presumed they would be careful enough to finish the proper edge. Could have happened even if I had tagged my slabs. I imagine I am not the first person that has had this "mistake" occur on their countertops. They are willing to correct the mistake. They agree it is a mismatch and does not look good/right. My question was in wanting to be fair to them and if I should allow "polishing" and whatnot to make it match, or if it was better to just ask for new slab(s). Is there something else I should have done? Why do I need to have tagged my slabs for this not to have happened? The stone is the same stone I saw in their wherehouse. Maybe I'm not explaining myself well. :o~ Guess someone made a mistake. I can accept that. I just needed to know the fair thing to do to get it fixed. They are willing to fix it. I didn't want to ask for new slab/slabs if polishing and grinding to remove the "resin" and get them to match is a standard thing. I've never heard of that, which is why I love GW!! I'll be asking them to replace one or both slabs.... whatever it takes to get that long counter to be seamless match. I forgot today was Pres. day so I'll be calling in the morning. :o) Thanks everyone. :O)...See MoreSimple home remedies that work

Comments (46)Mimi, I am not getting into a debate with you over this. You misinterpreted my initial post, which was my fault for not being more specific. As to people getting antibiotics without good cause, i can---anecdotally---recount three examples from just the past two weeks of people I know personally who have gotten antibiotics from PAs for what was not substantiated as anything other than a cold. And this happens ALL the time. Its a small town, people talk to each other about their doctor visits, and they probably volunteer more information to me than most because they know I work in a medical office. If you are asking for an infectious disease treatment printout from the CDC by zip code, I can't offer that. I didn't realize that was the standard of discussion now instead of empirical statement....See Moreyellowhair
