   Can you wait two months for the next issue of FHB? Otherwise, we did articles on concrete counters in issue 90 and issue 125.

   *What would you like to know? I recently installed about 100 lf of concrete top on a bar & a back bar. It has two big curves in it, and overhans the front 14". The top is three feet deep, and was done in two pours, 55 lf and 45lf (appx.) I learned alot, and had good help from my concrete supplier. i'm happy to answer anything you want to know, if I can.

   *Nathan, in the process of re-doing our kitchen including new cabinets with L shaped island. Tired of the same old counter options and was thinking about concrete.1) Can it be cast in place? About 30 lf.2) Can a guy with "some" concrete skill do it?3) Is weight a problem? What's as thin as we can go?4) If it sounds easy...

   *Nathan,I too would be very interested in your expertise. I have about 40' to install, not for a few months, but my guess is that I am going to need to do a few practice "mock-ups" before hand. 1. Cast in place or offsite2. Edge detail--3. Is grinding always necessary4. I have poured and finished alot of concrete, but only normal flatwork, etc. Countertops are a different story. Any tips or help you can offer would be greatly appreciatedThanks in advanceCole
