Concrete Countertops…
It seems like it is taking forever. The form work just takes a lot of time and patience which at this point I am running very low on.Reinforcing the countertop with rebar takes some time. We are doing a combination of mesh and rebar. Cutting the rebar is not a problem. Bending the rebar is back breaking since we do not have the proper tools to do it. I just basically clamped it to a vise and hammered it as best I could. It was very hard to get them straight but I was able to bend it. It was also very stress relieving and it helped to get all my frustration out as I hammered the rebar. Surprisingly I did not hurt from all the work. I am not sure if that is a good thing or not.
