Home stuff

Okay, I'm showing off. I just finished a couple photos for a potential customer so I figured I'd share them.

The picture I'm showing is my first concrete counter attempt and is installed in my own home - on my kitchen island bar. The other focus is the pole wrap technique I've used. I've never, ever seen it done elsewhere and all my internet searches has failed to turn up a picture like it. Finally you'll see the floor with the diamond mosaic inlays. I'm kinda partial to that.

I love mixing cabinet colors and top styles within a kitchen. I'm glad it's become trendy because 5 years ago, it was almost unheard of.
Yeah, I'm proud of what she (my wife) has done here. I wish like heck you could see it, all the way to the media room. One day my dumb-ass will learn to post pictures. I know it's not hard, I've just never actually taken the time to learn.

Heh. I don't know about "master". That pole is the first and only one of its kind. The top is my first try. Maybe I'll be a master one day. I guess the only part I have mastered is not being afraid of trying new and different stuff.

Heh. A lot more than what I'm able to make locally. When I'm away, my crews don't get as much done so there are more considerations than when I was a one-man shop.

Pole wrap technique? I've very curious, and I say that in the least gay possible way. You didn't inlay all those little pieces?

Whatever you did, it looks good.

Yeah, I put all those pieces on the pole and then grouted it. It's pretty challenging.

Funny story, I had incentive to have that done by last Thanksgiving. So I was up at 5:00 AM grouting the thing when my MIL comes down for coffee while I'm stroking the pole. Heh. She got a kick out that.
