Well, it's finally spring and the weather is starting to come around. We just finished up a small kitchen remodel, replacing everything from the plumbing to the cabinets and counter tops. We had to kill some mold on the subfloor before we built it up and removed some lead paint on the walls. I'll get some before and after pics up. Also Property Serv just landed a contract with a local Bank to go and rewire and re-plumb a house. It's fixing issues the previous owner created after the house was foreclosed on. It will be a couple of weeks worth of work, but I'm happy for it.
Have you ever went to your local home improvement store for a counter top and just didn't like what they had in stock? Then the sales person wants you to special order something, but come to find out it's four times as much as the off the shelf stuff. Well, if you're not installing granite or some other natural stone or exotic product, why not fabricate your own. As most of you know, I'm renovating a house from 1890 (though there isn't anything from that time period that I have found) and I have put in new kitchen cabinets and flooring. All of the "stock" counter tops that I found had back splashes on them and to special order was about four times as much. So, I decided to fab my own. Nothing extravagant right now, just particleboard with a laminate covering. I'll add the back splash later (I'm going to use some of the split stone granite all the way across), the thing is it will be custom and the way I want it to look without having to spend hundreds and have to wait weeks on the factory. It's also good experience and a useful skill. Joining the pieces may prove a challenge (over 11 feet of base cabinets on one side), but I'm sure I have it figured out. I get pics up soon.
