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.

Uh. Sure. Plus about 150 hours of your time working that quik-crete into something presentable.

In all seriousness, I would like to see one in person. For some reason visions of my driveway in the kitchen aren't working for me.

Get that vision out of your head. Concrete countertops are NOTHING like a driveway (unless you want it to look like your driveway). Every concrete specialist has their own closely guarded recipe but it all starts with portland, sand, and water.

Check out this gallery. You won't believe what they can do with concrete. http://www.concretenetwork.com/photo...rt=MostPopular

A few reasons concrete is gaining popularity:
1. You can make any shape you want.
2. You can span or cantilever greater distances.
3. The sky is the limit with regard to color, texture, graining, inlays, trivets, etc.
4. You can integrate concrete sinks into the actual counter.

This would be perfect for our bathroom. Hate to think of the cost though.

Dude, if you're thinking about doing your bathroom with a double basin application I have the perfect vanity for you. I picked it up at an auction. The cabinet has minor shipping damage (that can be repaired) but the black veined marble top is intact and it has 2 undermount bowls included. I'm just waiting for the right client to snatch it up before I invest the time to repair and paint it.

We are a ways off from doing the bathrooms. We have a crappy looking double sink setup right now with a tile countertop and two inset bowl sinks. UGLY.

What is the length on it?

I'm unsure but I'll find out. It's probably between 60 and 72 inches.

I think our setup is longer than that. I will have to measure it.
