<prompt> Human: I think that I can install them myself, but there are many different local vendors who will supplycut the granite. This includes national chains like Home Depot and Lowes.The problem is that I am finding it very hard to compare actual prices. Some of them will only offer to sell when combined with installation, some will only offer an estimate after they have someone take measurements I provided them with measurements I took myself and others have a listed price that they will slash once I commit to financing through them.Does anyone know a cheap way to aquire what I need if I already have the measurements and ability to install it myself? Ive looked into online options that ship to local warehouses for you to pick up, but not sure how reliable that may be.Thanks  <response>: I think that I can install them myselfHoo-boy. Ive done this twice now. If you want the absolute cheapest way to do it, call your local granite suppliers. Ask about remnants leftovers.Go buy the leftovers. Get a quality diamond blade for a good saw I used a hypoid skill saw and a diamond router bit and some buffing pads. Cut the granite and route the edges. I paid 2square foot going this route. I got the granite from somebody doing a kitchen remodel that didnt like their old granite.The next option up is to have somebody else do the fabrication, then you pick up the slab and install it. Youll need an A-frame granite holder two pieces of wood in a V-shape to keep it from cracking. Buy some strong friends a case of beer for hauling the granite, as that is heavy, heavy stuff.Installation isnt complicated if you know how to shim a surface to level.
