Alright, switch gears from politics. I am slowly getting everything updated in my house as I plan on selling it a year from now. Kitchen counter tops are next. I know some of you may have had some experience that can help me out.

Because I am selling in a year, I am not looking at spending top dollar. One consideration is the wow factor to a seller. Granite is out, too expensive for the time I have left here. I am looking at Corian, but also considering Laminate. I save about $1000 over Corian by going with laminate. Perhaps that answers my question, but I am willing to spend the extra money if it is a fairly superior product over Laminate and would help to sell the place faster. I have laminate now, and it has held up well over the last 18 years, but it needs updating. What should I do, what's best for value, given my circumstances?


Home Depot has a pretty good sale going on now. Granite, Sandstone, or Corian is marked $300 off, plus another 10 percent through tomorrow. Laminate, no sale.

Thanks for the help.
