The Water Flows!

May 27th, 2009 Miles 2 comments

Finally got my faucet, frige, garbage disposal, and dishwasher all hooked up yesterday. I’m most excited about the garbage disposal. I could probably throw just about anything down that drain now. Used the ol’ “hidden air gap” technique too. I like the nice, clean look up top.

I forgot how inconvenient it was to be without a sink in the kitchen until I started using one again!

Tops Are Done!

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.

Another shot of the peninsula/cooktop.

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.
