Had a great install, (thank god), My buddy and I finished loading up tools and what not this morn, got to the house at about 10:30 and were done by 5.
Need to go back for a couple of little touch ups on the joints and the strip behind the stove.
52 square feet of counter, they live in on a back road, the hills were sanded but still needed the four wheel drive to pull the trailer load of concrete.
The big thing is the client was ecstatic. Was about this time last year I measured the kitchen up for the cabinets. Told them it wouldn't be quick and they were good with that.

Hi Greg,
Your posts on this project are definitely of interest. You're doing some nice work, + working on the AC.

Nice work. It looks like that upper cabinet hangs too low over the sink. Or is it an illusion ?

Thanks guys, was an interesting project but kept me out of the machine shop too much,
That set of cabinets do hang low over the faucet, but the counter is 32 inches wide making the sink accessible, they wanted extra cabinets there hence the low profile.

Is there any problem with shrink-cracking around the corners of the sink cutout? Seems that would be a problem unless you're using a low-shrink mix. Wonderful work.
Wife and I visited a gal's shop near Tacoma, WA. She made stuff a little too hippie for our tastes, if you know what I mean. But it was great to see the process. When I got home, just for grins, I made a countertop for a cabinet I was building for my bench-top mill to sit on. Needed it to dampen vibration, which it certainly did. But nothing to look at; just heavy and flat.

Cracking hasn't been a problem on the couple I've done, I use water reducer in the mix, that's supposed to help and fibreglass chop probably is the biggest contributor.
