We finally found the perfect quartzite countertop for our rustic/zen feeling bathroom and were so excited to get it installed on the vanity Josh just built. I can't really explain how shocked and saddened we were when to find the countertop was destroyed when we went to bring it into the bathroom. Buying another countertop is not an option so now the question is.... Can we somehow magically repair this one??
We are a couple who are building our own home from the ground up in the mountains of West Virginia. After living near the city our entire lives we finally decided to sell it all, pack up our 3 kids and live in an RV on our 73 acres while we building our own off-grid house and learning to live a more self-reliant life.

Some really stupid and uneducated comments about stain removal on natural stone. That is not quartzite either. It may have some bands of quartzite but it's primarily dolomitic marble and will etch. Absolutely do not use bleach, magic eraser(abrasive), or goo gone. A mixture of poultice powder (511 makes a good one) and acetone is what I would use. Cover and let dry then scrape off with plastic putty knife. It will take several applications.

Josh, you're gonna want to replace that flex "P" trap with a straight piece of PVC, first of all they don't meet code and they will catch every piece of hair and anything else you can imagine because of all the little pieces of plastic flash that were not able to be removed in the molding process. Looks great guys!

I stained a whole 4,000 sq foot shop with copper sulfate and let it sit to soak in over a weekend. Beautiful aqua color. Really perfect. Never thinking that the Amish kids around me who never get to use their skates would descend in droves on this huge flat rink and leave tire tread marks all over it!! After a short period of agony, I said to myself “Self, you now have a permanent record of all the young people you love in your floor”. And it actually looks great. Totally unique like some huge abstract art piece. People have stopped by to ask how we did it. Maybe the fix is to give all your kids some markers and say “have at it”. (Just kidding- i hope the mfg can help). I ❤️ you all!!

I spent most of my life as a home builder and I grew up on a beautiful farm in Iowa... so it was just really interesting for me to watch. I never subscribed until today... sorry. I want to tell you that you have built a beautiful home... But more than anything else, you have built a beautiful family, and that's what matters most. I started watching for the build... but now, I simply admire the love that your family shares. My prayers are always with you, and may God's blessings be on you all. Mark VanWeelden

Also he was stretching it to reach the pipe extension above. Never do that as it will want to return to original form thus slipping off the pipe above. Get a longer extender for the piece above. Other than that good job. When I did such for a living, we always put the faucets and drain in the countertop drain lift rod and all with it on saw horses to make it easy and then lift the top into place with it all attached. Leaving the lower connections for the tight places. Just made it easier. Tricks of the trade. Did not have to reach up between the bowl and the wall that way.
