Adventures in Other People's Lives

We just obtained an "Abandoned" Storage Unit at auction. We got a pretty nice couch, a good looking coffee table, about a half-dozen license plates, a nice GTA tool kit, a shoebox full of bench warrants and court orders...

...and an 8-foot long granite counter top from some bar.

Oo! What are you going to do with them all?

Not sure yet... you need a giant slab of granite, real cheap?

If the price is right and you can wait for payment, I *may* be interested...

Oh really?

I actually have more info about it now... it's not granite... it's "Engineered Stone", making it much more valuable than originally thought, Also, based on the placement of two 3-inch holes drilled in it and the various bits of Sharpie-Pen Graffiti on it, this is a high-quality custom Beer Pong Table.

Hmmm... Maybe not, then. Eventually, we're remodeling the kitchen, but I was thinking this would work for computer desk material downstairs. I don't want to pay much to get this job done, though. And if it's got holes in it, it won't work :/

2 holes, 1 each about 3-inches from the edge, just perfect to hold a red plastic cup full of beer :)

All the "420 BLUNT" graffiti maight clash with the rest of the kitchen, though...

Oh, it's in red? Perfect. That's one of the main colors of my new kitchen :)

Pfft.

Can that be removed without damaging it?

Simple buffing should be able to get rid of the graffiti... it's just Sharpie marker n a polished stone surface after all!
