I mistakenly thought it was tranny related. Coming home last night it was having more issues so I thought...

    Granite countertop installation question

    I want to install a small granite countertop 25" x 36". The granite is thinner than the existing laminate and if I install the granite directly on top of the countertop it will leave a 1/4" gap where the wall wasn't painted. I don't have any of the paint left and I'm really bad at spackling...
