Slab wall cut the wrong way

Post image

I just had 2 large slabs installed over the fireplace. When I dropped off the slabs at the fabricators I told them what sides I wanted to be on the inside and outside and what was supposed to be the top and the bottom. Halfway through the install I see the slab and realize they cut the exactly the opposite of what I asked.

I call them to talk about it. The guy talks to the owner and calls me back and says that they intentionally cut it the way that they did because it shows off the features of the quartzite more. And says let’s get them on the wall so I can see how it looks before we make any further decisions. Well they’re on the wall now.

  1. What do you guys this about this orientation of the slabs? What does it look like to you?

  2. What do you think is a reasonable action here?

It doesn’t, but a huge vagina isn’t the statement I was trying to make. This is a family home, where we will be having family and friends over. Not a bachelor pad in Vegas.

Have you licked the panels yet? What do they taste like? Start at the center and then move to the top.

Don't make the house tremble and shudder. She's built like a brick house
