We did not by any stretch of the imagination love these counters:
They were white, nasty, old, tile counters. The grout was disgusting! When we moved in I bleached it several times. As we were debating what to do to replace the counters we obviously looked at our budget at the price of a granite slab. We quickly came to the conclusion they were out of our price range.
We went back to the idea of tile but this time the tile would be granite tile, and 18 x 18 inch rather than 4x4 inches. A granite slab can be anywhere from $40 per square foot and higher. Our granite tile was $8 per square foot!
We began by taking out the old counters and plywood. We replaced the plywood and screwed hardi backer onto it. After that we could lay the tile.
Good-bye white tile counter!
See ya later sink I don’t like!
New plywood base for the counters:
My new sink hole. And of course one must ALWAYS be making sure to use a level.
The Hardi backer – this ensures strength of the base (I think).
