Is there another room besides the Kitchen in this House?!

We ar still in this kitchen working away. It’s taken longer than we expected to recover financially from Christmas so rehab has been going slow. This week we tackled the Acacia butcher block counter tops we will have in the kitchen. We have one 8 ft piece as of now which will cover our coffee bar area. We have run the plumbing and will eventually have a bar sink there as well. So, this week we I say we and you all know I mean Adam, that’s understood right? Yeah ok so “we” routed the edge because I like that much better than the straight edge. Adam used his Ryobi router using a 3/8″ round bit.

Now that the route ring was done we wiped it down with a damp cloth (I actually did do that) then we began the staining process. We used min wax in the mission oak gloss stain and poly in one.

Adam applied the stain with a stain sponge. We only got one coat on so it’s not quite done. We will have to do a bit more work. This was a big job to get moving on though considering all the other little projects that are constantly going on when you are Rehabbing a house you live in. Here’s a pic of our project.
