2 countertop down and one to go

Well now that fall is here and the weather is getting colder, we are a little more motivated to get things done. We are hoping that the kitchen will be done by mid October but then again I'm fairly busy with work and Ultimate.

We have nearly finished building the concrete countertops. After that we will need to do some finishing work to them such as; filling the air gaps with a dark black slurry and then covering the countertops with several coats of a natural epoxy. The epoxy is used to protect the countertops from water stains.

I am very thankful for the help I got from Robin and his son, Brent (my neighbour) and my Ultimate team. Each piece probably weights around 350 pounds.

Things left to do in the kitchen:

- countertops
- cabinet doors
- put down 3/4 inch sub-flooring
- tile and grout kitchen floor
- tile kitchen wall
- install gas for cooktop (hiring a professional)

The concrete countertop form - reinforced



The pour - its upside down
