countertops, including honing and installation, cost $3000 ($50/square foot). We paid an additional $600 for the sink cut-out, an 8-inch backsplash, and quite a few marble windowsills for other parts of the house. After bids of up to $5000, bids that didn't even include the backsplash, we were pretty happy with this.  See this post for full details on the countertops.

Resources

Here are a couple resources that were the most helpful to us in the appliance shopping process. 

  • GardenWeb Forums - This site, if you don't know it already, is a great forum of people in the midst of renovating. You have to hunt and search for posts that apply to you (there's no organized menu or gallery of appliances) but for anecdotal advice, you can't beat GardenWeb's helpfulness and depth.
