Good Tuesday morning everyone!  After the ease of yesterday’s puzzle I decided to try my hand at solving today’s without the clue letters and I’m happy to report that I was successful!!!  After jotting down my answer I went back and solved the clue words to double check.  DIVEST was the only tricky anagram, but I knew what letters I needed and it all fell into place in a flash.  No unique details in the puzzle other than the $15/ft price of the granite.  Is that a good deal?  Maybe someone who’s in the biz or building a house can fill us in.  All schools are closed in my area today due to “expected snow” of two to four inches.  I’ve never heard of a sillier excuse but they haven’t had a snow day all year and everyone deserves a day off now and again.  Enjoy your day and I’ll see you tomorrow!  😀❄️☃️
