The Voices In My Head.

I am pleased to report that the concrete counter tops are finished, and they came out pretty good. If I had to do it all over again, I would just try and get more of the air bubbles out (vibrate it a little more). I wanted a little bit of that look, but the slurry didn’t quite cover up as much as I’d like.

Overall shot of the kitchen. Don’t mind the clamps – I’m just letting the adhesive to set so the counter top doesn’t nudge at all.

A closer shot of the peninsula piece. Freshly polished and waxed.

I really like how the cooktop sits almost flush with the concrete. Gives it an awesome look.

Still waiting for the sink to arrive. As soon as it shows up, I will hook up the faucet and dishwasher/fridge.

Closer at the sink location.

Oh hey, look, an update.

The weather has been shaping up these past couple weeks, and I finally set some time aside to get back to the action. The actual cement pour should be happening in the next week or two. It’s been forever, so I’m really excited to finally finish this project.

The only thing left to do before I can pour is seal everything up with caulk. Once that’s done, I’m set. I didn’t post pics of the two smaller counter top pieces, because they aren’t that exciting

General form done, now laying the rebar around the perimeter of the form:

The perimeter is laid:

Now it’s time to lay the remesh and tie it to the rebar:

And the form is done:
