Dry cut in the shop? You are making me want to cry. I give up. Everything is screwed. Your job is temporary, but please wear a respirator. :-) Do everyone a favor and call OSHA on your last day. Nothing about this sounds "okay".

The slabs should be "perfect" from the shop. This includes sink cutouts. For whatever reason, there is a tendency for faucet holes to be cut onsite. This bothers me, but it's true. Not only is it stupidly messy, it's les

Well said. To me, saying "I work too many hours to wear PPE the entire time" is akin to saying "I drive too many hours to be sober the entire time."

I'm not sure why I'm getting these downvotes, but my point is that concrete is far more of a silica containing building material than engineered stone but for which there is probably far less political gumption to meaningfully reg

But that's the point of templating. It's not a rectangular slab. It's a polygon to accommodate for inconsistencies and should be scribed to the back wall. And even if something is off, the drywall should be gouged to make the

I'd love to hear why. What is the templating process and why is it not better?

As far as countertops go, field cuts are rather uncommon. Laser templating works well. Holes on the other hand tend to be done in the field. But, people don't wear PPE even though it's simple and easy to do.

> Wearing PPE is miserable. The respiratory masks that reliably keep silica out of your lungs are painful. I completely disagree. Is it less comfortable than not wearing a mask? For sure. Do I consider it a burden to wear a P100 respirat

Love BEopt! It’s definitely a favorite in the “construction nerd” community (such as https://www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/ ). I used it quite a bit in making design choices for an extensive renovation on my own home.
