I was wondering are you guys now going into marble and granite, because I am seeing a lot of posts with marble and granite questions. Its not my expertise--but just wondering if this board is starting swing into that area.

Hi Derek,

I think it is gravitating that way naturally. The people on this board (pat yourselves on the back, you know who you are), take the posts here quite seriously, and attempt to answer as best they can.

Many of us, Karen, myself and many others, are either down this road, or are realizing that just offering t&g is like cleaning the fringe on oriental rugs ONLY, without cleaning the rug! Or, cleaning only one kind of carpet. The opportunities once you are good at t&g to go into stone restoration are excellent. And usually (IMO) the smart money says "Hey, I'm into something where people are not (as yet) "giving" it away (like cc), but as more and more are getting into it, I need to further differentiate myself from them."

And since their isn't a substantial $$$ investment in stone restoration (vs. a TM), a willing attitude, and a place like this (where was this site in 1986 when I started? Oh yeah, Al Gore hadn't invented the internet as yet!), it is much easier to move into this area.

John R., others your opinion?

In the next few weeks we will be addressing this issue possibly with something new and exciting.  Until then, you'll just have to wait and see.  Working out the details as we speak.

I do marble and very little granite, but don't have plans to drop ceramic.
