This was a much needed update. Unfortunately, the original skim coated concrete countertops I installed only lasted about 2 years before the swelling/shrinking of the door substrate caused cracking and failure. We painted the countertops as a stopgap but these new concrete counters are great! They aren't perfect but I learned a lot for when I do concrete counters at my place soon! Hope you learned a bit and enjoyed the video! Mike

MODERN BUILDS

Hi, My name is Mike Montgomery and I'm a MAKER; a designer, builder, and fulltime content creator. Accessibility is my focus with Modern Builds, not simply accessibility of designs, but accessibility in materials, information, and projects themselves. I've focused on creating furniture and DIY projects that are simple enough that any beginner maker can accomplish, yet interesting enough that any expert might be inspired. Building and making is becoming less and less of an exclusive hobby and profession. My goal is to reduce that separation even further.
