Not sure where to look for this info. Haven't found anything so far, but maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places.
We're thinking of putting in a granite countertop in our kitchen remodel. How does one set up support for the countertop when the dishwasher it goes over is in a corner? How much support do I need on the edge?
As you can sorta see here, the dishwasher is between the end wall and the sink cabinet. The countertop would be supported on one side by the sink cabinet. Maybe in back by a small ledger? And then the wall side, what do I do?
I have another space in the kitchen with a similar problem. We have something like 53" of width in which we'd like to put a Washer and Dryer under a granite countertop. (No basement or laundry room in the 900 SF home.) We've found a few washers and dryers that are counter-sized. (IE: Same size as a dishwasher.) But, I have no idea how to frame around 2 24" appliances to support the granite. I'm assuming I can span the 24" openings, and need a middle support. But how thick do I need, how do I frame the left end? On the right end is the chimney, which has some framing we can use to tie in to.
Just looking for pointers from someone who's had do deal with this, or more importantly, a good resource to find this sort of information from a decent source.
