this was left over on a remodel I have right now. So I brought it home, cut it and put it on my patio table.

It is really unique, It's from an ancient river bed in Brazil. My granite guy is getting me more info on it.

actually its 36 3/4 with the granite. I think you and Mike both need glasses:Poke:

but of course the guys in the pictures are tall. My son on the left is 6'4" and Billy on the right is 6' 1"

next we are putting a raised glass bar on top of the granite. getting it from here. it will be the one with the water drop look.

I love that color. And I must say - nice free hand cut on that table top!!

I want to redo my counter tops with granite but I think I will have to get some cheepy stuff - or on sale. I have some crazy countertops it seems. Counter guy said it would take more than normal b/c of the angles or some bullsh!t.

Ok... I think I just realized something.

April Fools Run and Gazintapalooza are TWO different events. Ok... :doh:

Well, I am slated to make the April Fools run, as voted in the poll. But I think I have been referring to it as Gpalooza.

ok... carry on....
