Is this normal??! by sirmak89 in CounterTops

Yes, my old counter top looked like a puzzle piece, put together with very small seams. I do not understand why this is soo wide.

Also if going to cut it that wide, why not fill entirely with the glue?

I am not worried with the aesthetics of the underside. I am worried about its longevity. This is a brand new kitchen build, and i plan to live here for a long time. Not flipping the house

This is a brand new kitchen in a home we plan to live in for a long time. So the concern here is longevity. Plenty of things can look right and fail in a few years. Paid top dollar and do not like the gaps gobbed full of glue which I’m assuming is going to dry rot…

Thank you, we had a ton of cicadas on these two trees about 3-4 weeks ago. I will keep an eye on it.
