[quote=Anonymous]Two things: one, while it's theoretically possible to remove the granite so that it's still in one piece (or multiples depending on cutouts/seams etc) I'm told there's also a high likelihood of cracking. Add to that the fact that the only people who have appropriate vehicles for transporting stone slabs without breakage are the same places that have tons of their own remnants (fabricators/stoneyards.) So you probably won't have an easy time donating your granite.

Second, think hard about marble. It's gorgeous, but the etching, staining - are you sure you want to live in a kitchen that has to be protected from use? There are lots of alternatives that would give you a similar look - various quartz products like Silestone or Cambria, but also natural stones like Taj Mahal quartzite and a few others. Go on Gardenweb's kitchen forum and look for some advice before you spend a mint on marble. There are marble fans there but you can get more info on good alternatives to consider as well.[/quote]
