Grouting the Counter
Clearly need to let it set up more before I can finish cleaning it off, but I got most of the overflow off and it looks pretty good. Then I'll seal it, and put the sink in place. Once the sink is in place so I know right where to drill for the drain I can finish the plumbing.
While I was waiting for the grout to set up I pulled apart some pallets to play with the shelving. Since I don't have any one-inch lumber but I do have several stacks of old pallets, I played with the idea of using pallet wood for shelving. The distressed wood doesn't look badly out of place, but lord it's miserable to work with. I've a feeling I gonna end up investing in some lumber - when I can get someplace that has it. The one hardware store in town doesn't have any 1X8s.
Palette wood may also have bugs in it that might emerge later, or not.
ReplyDeleteI would look for siding that matches the walls?
God I hate grout...for what it does to my back and knees.
Looking really good! I've run across cedar pallets before, keep a look out for them. A little scrub and sanding would have those planks looking almost as good as your paneling.
