Drywall went up and we formed up for the concrete counter tops. Added some reinforcing because along the back side of the island the counter top extended 11".
Next up is trim around doors, windows, and baseboards.
As for the counter top form, I used a half bullnose plastic form specifically for concrete counter tops. It creates a simple yet somewhat nicer edge than using a square edge.
Awesome. I havent looked at concrete stuff in a while.
What'd you do for vibrating and polishing?
The corner to the right of the sink has plumbing but the space on the left is just dead space. The dishwasher is there so there wasn't really an opportunity to utilize that space without a lot of work that wouldn't really be worth it for this project.

Where did you get the bullnose from? I need to redo the concrete counters outside on my deck since they were poured way to thin and they are cracking all over.
We made some concrete stair treads for our patio at the old house... I had an idea, for counters, to sand it down and then smear all the voids full of a contrasting color epoxy grout.
I thought about something similar to this as well since we wanted something darker. But I couldn't really find a feasible way to do it with anything that was food grade.
Interesting how its turning out, bud.
I cant wait to watch on TV, if its anything like most DIY shows you will be made to look like an idiot and Bri will come off as the bitchy whiny spouse.
Nothing really different than normal I guess.
Heck of a tan you've worked up with all that camera light!
