You're very welcome! I'm happy to see that my video was useful :)

How To With Mr. Noodle Useful, it was a life saver. Before the video :( what did i got my self into after the video ; ) I got this.

@@jsk8838 didn’t go through with it. Lol I was selling my home and realtor said to leave it !

You are most welcome...

@@HowToWithMrNoodle Great video, I need to remove an existing top for leakage repair behind the sink where I have to remove lower cabinets to replace drywall, if I don't damage granite which is the best way to reinstall granite same location?.

Donate to who? Habitat for Humanity is super picky.

I am glad you found my video useful.

I am not sure I fully understand your question. I am assuming that your back splash is too far left hanging into the area where your range goes preventing your range from being pushed all the way back. If that is the case you can certainly try and remove it using wedges then re position it with some construction adhesive. In another scenario if this is a slide in oven and it is hitting the underside of the counter top on the right side you can cut the screws on the right side and lift it gently with a few wedges placed between the face frame and the sub top. The wedges will be a permanently placed. In order to re-secure the top to the cabinet you will have to carefully angle some screws from the underside through the cabinet frame into the sub-top. If this is not the case a picture may help me offer a better suggestion. In the end if you don't feel comfortable doing this project please hire a reputable counter top company to make the fix.

Mr. Noodle Your vídeo saved my life!!! I am so happy , I was able to fixed after watched this video and All the problem is gone now. Thank you very much for helping us!

Scrape away my friend

It's called a stud finder and you can get them at any hardware store.

If you want it to look rigged you can or you can take the multi cutting tool that he was using to cut nails to cut the glue. Same principle, get something thin up underneath the granite and then start cutting the glue while you the granite a little at a time. don't get impatient and try to lift it too much or else you will break the granite

sorry to be so off topic but does anyone know a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my password. I love any tricks you can give me!

@Archie Tyson i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Archie Tyson it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thanks so much you saved my ass :D

I have seen other videos online that utilize a blow torch or a heat gun to soften the adhesive allowing the pieces to be separated. Sorry, I can't be of more help as I have never done this myself, however in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QTvqZFgUKaM.html they demonstrate the usage of a blow torch and a box cutter to seperate the seam.

Hi what worked for me after seeing the video that he suggest was to use a heat gun. Use a Stanley knife ie box cutter to cut as much as I could on the joint while heating up. Then put the wedge ie Shim on one side of the joint ie supporting one of the granite pieces and raise it and push the other down it snap the joint. It was only glued altogether I don't know if they use a wood pin to connect internally what will happen

If you removed the counter top you could use a diamond blade in a wet saw to cut off the quarter inch. You could follow that up with a polishing wheel using a side grinder type tool. To do it in place would be quite a bit more difficult and require specialized tools and techniques ans getting the final cut up against the wall would be the most difficult part. Not impossible just difficult.

Just cut the counter, bevel it and polish it with pads...take a little work but less than moving your cabinets.

The screws are screwed in to the plywood from the top. You cannot unscrew from the bottom.

Oscillating tool.

Hfh charges high prices for the stuff they get for free.

They are screwed into a substrate top from the top which the granite is glued to. One cannot get to the screw heads, therefor, they must be cut.

No granite installer is going to screw plywood from the bottom underneath, unless he thought that the owner would eventually replace granite later on. Would be nice if they did.

The granite countertop in the video has a wooden substrate its glued to. The substrate is between the cabinets and granite so the screws are in the substrate not the granite

@@thepugilist2013 Good answer ;)

The screws hold the plywood to the cabinet and the granite is glued to the plywood.

@@jsk8838 that stinks, what a pain in the arse

Well the screws are driven in from the top BEFORE they glue the granite to the plywood, so the screws are completely inaccessible.

You could put new doors on your existing frame, but if you don't remove the counter top, you can't replace the entire cabinet.

Do you have a hard drive? There are strong magnets in them.

They lay a piece of plywood on top of the cabinets, like a countertop, and put screws in from the top. Then they put the granite on top of that so the screw heads are covered by the granite.

Sorry for the delayed reply. Honestly I thought this would go well in an outdoor kitchen. And some day I will use it for that.
