Got a quote for Caesar Stone benchtops = 5800. Can't afford just yet so I knocked up a temp one out of 32mm thick HMR particle board. It'll have twin Smeg underbench mount sinks. I'm going to put a couple of coats of MArine Spar Varnish around the inside edges of the cutout to prevent swelling when wet hopefully.
I've edged it in Masara 32mm x 19mm ripped down from a piece of decking that was too distorted to use on the deck. It's had 2 coats of sanding sealer and i'll finish it with a couple of gloss coats of something or other.
Like I say just temp.

Ps. I have also resorted to MDF temporary tops but not as flash as yours. Should not be too long for my permanent tops to be ordered.

Geez Sheddie,
have you been kicked outa the house. Fridge, microwave and computer in the garage/shed :cool: There's also a s/s laundry sink (not yet connected), a TV, a Yamaha stereo amp, 2 excellent Jamo speakers, and a 30 year old Philips transistor radio. Gotta snavel the old kettle and toaster when the nnew kitchen is finally finished. :H
