\Almost 3 years ago a friend of mine asked me if I wanted to help her with a possibility of getting a YMCA in Carroll County. I said,â yes, of course,â and boy has it been a journey! \The addition of the YMCA in Carrollton has truly been great for our community.
Granite is one of the hardest natural stones, which is why pool designers select it when looking for a consistent look that can stand the test of time. Made primarily of quartz, granite is usually dark in color, holds a shine, and repels water.ich in earth-toned colors and textures, this type of stone is ideal for around a pool because it has a non-slip surface, resists moisture and heat, and can withstand constant use. Quarried all over the world, flagstone is low maintenance because of its highly dense makeup and will usually hold up for years.
Set granite in place for the sink counter, and trace the exact line around the opening for the sink onto the plywood subcounter. Remove the granite slabs that were dry-fitted only. Use a spade bit to make a pilot hole in the plywood, and use a jigsaw to cut the sink hole. Make it about 1/8 larger than the line you drew. Drop in the sink. Before you lay the granite slabs back on top, lay down some cardboard to protect the sink overnight. You'll remove the cardboard before joining the granite seams.
