Esteemed General Contractor here on damned female island is gut renovating  
kitchen hereon.  We expected stone flooring (we chose Jerusalem stone and  
will always think of Ralph) to go wall-to-wall.   Esteemed Contractor  now 
says, no, stone will come right up to but not under the counters.  He  says 
this is standard practice, although he acknowledges that standard practice  
in other kitchens (at least the five others we have had) is to run the wood 
or  vinyl tile wall-to-wall.   Stone is "different".  
 
Does this sound true?   We are concerned that, if and when  cabinets are 
ever rebuilt, we will be stuck with that layout. He also is  going to do the 
same with the center island.    Cost of stone not an  issue, it's not that 
many SF.
