Can’t they just recycle all the pilfered countertops from the foreclosures?

Nope. Once you cut the rock.. thats all she wrote. That is one of the things that ticks me off on the flippers that have to throw a granite countertop on a poorly structured kitchen with cheap cabinets. Its a waste of material. The only way you could ‘reuse’ is in another kitchen with the exact same dimensions. Even tracts have variance in the dimensions of the same models which can make re-use difficult.

(Um … that was just flip sarcasm).

On the upside, the pilfered granite would make for very nice garage worktops (overlaying the former kitchen and bathroom cabinets.

Or, maybe break them up a bit and use as yard stepping “stones” if you had enough. It’s not like the granite is going to quickly decay at the landfill (as will the wood/particle board cabinets).

[quote=temeculaguy]patent guy, good guess, fairly accurate, the air in temecula is unique. It worsens as you go north of Murietta. It has a unique microclimate because of the rainbow gap (a sea level notch in the mountains north of pendleton that blows sea air and sea gulls into the valley every day, usually in the afternoon). It is also the reason that they grow grapes here, hot sun, low humidity and cool breezes. The grapes stop about mid city, north of there the temps rise and the breeze lessens.

here is a little info on the micro climate, scroll dow to the climate part.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temecula_Valley_AVA

it’s a narrow swath, on a hot day you gain 1 degree almost every mile as you move north, by the time you hit elsinore is 10 degrees hotter and temec gets mist or fog in the mornings (I actually think the indian name is valley of the mist or something like that), we don’t have much, we get beat up on the boards, we aren’t on the coast, but we get it’s air, so we got that going for us, which is nice.

However, if they build that granite quarry in fallbrook/deluz, it may change the game, the cool wind comes through there almost year round, a quarry on the wind route may blow dust this way. There is so much passion and so many lawsuits on both sides of the quarry argument that I’m not sure what is fact or fiction, it’s ten miles away but there have been numerous experts on both sides claiming everything from nothing will change to visible dust. More than likely it will only affect northern fallbrook (avos) and southern temecula (grapes) if it has an effect, oh and of course me, since that is where I am at and I am the only one allowed to screw up the air with my cigars.[/quote]

I would add that most of the ten degrees as you head into Lake Elsinore is because of the lake (mirror effect), if you stay on the west side of the I15 you still get breezes off the ocean but not quite as cool as the south Temecula area until you hit the lake, then you hit the lake mirror effect.

If you go up to the end of Clinton Keith on a clear day you can sometime see the ocean (and I would think that you will not get the dust off the quarry either).

(Um … that was just flip sarcasm).

Ok.. though there are people that actually believe you can ‘recyle’ the granite… that is why it gets ‘pulled out’. In many cases it is not even worth the effort to ‘grab the cabinets’.. The effort costs more than what you get in exchange, and the granite and cabinets can be damaged in the process.
