One more step

This weekend the butcher block counters were cut for three of the spaces in our kitchen. It would be neat, yet perhaps too complicated, to do the rest of the counters with this, but I'm brainstorming how to complete the sink side. We also finished the last two cabinet doors for this first phase of the resurfacing of our kitchen. This wall still needs the trim and a rack mounted before it will be complete. I do look forward to being able to push the fridge completely out of the way (it's about 12 inches away from the wall right now). Slowly, and surely, it's coming along. This week I get to polish my new counter everyday with mineral oil to prepare it for use. After that it will be once a week for a month, then once a month for the duration of it's lifetime. From what I've read all I need to do is keep it well oiled with mineral oil and it should be my idea of low maintenance and nearly indestructible. Lovely and cheaper than granite or any of the other fake stone stuff. Sounds good to me.
