COUNTER TOPS

The counter tops are now finished, it was a messy job and Steve did most of the work, what a man!!! Steve took Friday off so that we could get it finished. I did take some turns to give him a break but my arms and back are not as strong as his.

After we finished doing the wet polish Friday we did an acid wash, the color I chose is called Walnut, it's a dark brown with a little color variation.

Saturday I put three coats of sealer on it and we put the faucet on the sink, hooray!!! We love the way it turned out, but this is a thing you only try once.

OUR LATE NIGHT FUN

Friday night Steve and I stayed up late and got the rest of our concrete counter tops poured, I won't have a kitchen sink now for 2 weeks while the concrete cures. After that we will start with polishing stage, followed by acid washing and sealing. Then on Saturday Steve took down the over the range microwave along with the surrounding cabinets and starting installing the new range hood and we brought in the new range (double ovens, hooray)! Now if I could just get the painting done.
