Where did you get those pull out cabinet slides? Nice work, all! KJ

The Container Store sells these.

Tagged for later. I've watched about every video there is on youtube about concrete counter tops.

Good luck on yours sendit! i'm sure they will turn out great just like the rest of the house has thus far.

Well I learned that doing this by yourself sucks. The forms and whatnot are straight forward and the masking and laying down plastic isn’t bad. The lifting of the cement mix, mixing and carrying to to location is the hard part.






Forms and mesh set.


My first attempt at this.

I did this. Works good but the concrete sets really fast. Be prepared and don't do a big pour with it. The white powder is like magic.

I got the island built,the forms installed and prepped. Wound up using 1150lbs of concrete. It was lots of mixing in buckets and making a mess but all in all it went ok.

Here's a couple pics of one I did. It's really pretty easy.

Those look great! I’m doing those for my outdoor kitchen.

The sink goes in the bigger one. There will also be GFCI outlet on either side.

I like the island top. How did you make it white? I really like the rock on the front on the island. Wish I had done that to mine.
