Pour in place Concrete Countertop

So we are ready to pour FINALLY. We taped up the holes and siliconed the corners. checked and double checked. We found a few falws in our design and re made our form here and there. I can't believe I forgot to take pictures of our reinforcements because it was so cool. We researched it real well and found a website produced by an engineer that convinced us to go with 9 gauge steel. I don't think this counter is going to have any problem in the strength department. :)

Then came the mess. We used 5000 psi sackcrete. It took 8 bags. We used BUFF colored concrete dye and some water.









I was so tired. I mixed the concrete and Marty poured. We worked at it all day and night.....

This is what we have so far. I know already I am going to love love love it!! Next comes the long wait..then some sanding, filling a few holes with slurry, more sanding, buffing and sealing.....

Stay tuned.....
