    Isaac, I have a question. I have an under-mount sink and the granite cracked (a large, 1/8" wide, crack) in the back near back splash, at a dowel pinned joint. Considering cutting out a large opening, removing damaged area, and installing a "farmhouse sink". Can this be done "on-site" without removing the entire counter top?
