Concrete Countertop

Just completed a concrete countertop project for my kitchen. What a great process and a real nice alternative to the usual solid surface. I've worked with concrete before, for sidewalks and foundations, but never like this. I basically formed and poured roughly 40 square feet of concrete countertops for the kitchen. In the spring I plan on making a new vanity top for our downstairs bathroom plus, an outdoor wet bar and table for the deck. I think we are going to use colored broken glass and white crete for the Bathroom vanity top accented with a colored glass bowl sink inset.
Will post photos shortly of counter tops.

The kitchen project left us with a beefy look and warmer feel then naturally formed stone. If you do it yourself expect it to cost about $25 per square foot at the 40 square foot mark with materials, rental tools and the purchase of a wet polisher and diamond pads. (you can always resell the polisher on ebay and get almost what you paid for it provided you take real care and keep it clean.

You can never have enough roll plastic on hand for this kind of project. You'll need some good muscle lined up to help with install. You want a real good method for vibrating the crete. if pouring for the first time a large piece have 2 additional people to help with the pour.

Would like to hear about your concrete projects. Maybe exchange tips and ideas.
