Pics from the wife of The Bookworm in West Yellowstone. Looks like a great combo of books, vintage Yellowstone pennants and other ephemera. I managed to score the neonish YS pennant, thanks honey.

How to: Concrete counter

heyhansen — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 17:14:29 +0000

After living with a plywood kitchen counter for far too long, I finally tackled this project. Lots of resources out there, but all roads lead back to Fu Tung-Cheng. All in all it’s a pretty straightforward process, build a mold (don’t forget it’s a mirror image!), mix the concrete, polish as obsessively as you’re comfortable with, seal, wax, and install (recruit strong friends). For far too many photos of my project, view it here.

Steps:

Build a mold using melamine
Seal the seams with black (for visibility) caulk
Float metal fencing in middle of mold and add rebar based on size
Mix concrete, add polystyrene fibers, water reducer and of course color or aggregate as desired
Carefully break out of mold and start grinding working your way up the grits
Seal with a food safe sealant and wax

Escape to Joshua Tree

Found this house available for rent on a nice site called airbnb that is similar to VRBO but in a much nicer web site package. It offers some really unique properties – night in a castle anyone? including this black modern gem near Joshua Tree.
