Countertops 2.5/2.5 done!

[unicornduke]

I did the last big countertop and the little one under the microwave this week. Worked on it a lot more piecemeal than the other counter. Hardest part was not hitting the lights with the plywood when I brought it inside. Only casualty was that I cut my middle finger with the exacto blade this morning, cleaned it and its stopped bleeding, so that was irritating. Tiny countertop under microwave was very easy because they used nice plywood already, worse glue so I didn't damage it and I didn't care much about the edges since it isn't super visible. This counter was much less square than the other, so I goofed my measure a tiny bit for the plywood, but the 1/8 inch where my plywood doesn't cover the old plywood is on the far side where it isn't really visible.

It is looking really good.
I thought, of course she cut her finger with the exacto. That is what we do when working on a project, especially one where we aren't quite familiar with the procedure and are concentrating hard!!

Hurrah for having it all done!

Those photos both have a very log cabin aesthetic.

Looks great! I need to finish up my book room remodel but it's just the tiny finish work, ugh.
