This is one of planning coordinator Dan Kelligher's projects. Dan has cast a series of custom fitted counters and sinks for bathrooms in Unit 6, Unit 7 and Unit 9. This present counter project is for a small kitchen area. Custom cut and bent metal reinforcement has been inserted. The elevated portion is the cavity for the sink. Next to it is a small assembly of washers that will provide a cavity for the water faucet.

The form is complete and Dan mixes a special concrete mix 'Quickcrete 5000'. This is a very smooth concrete mixed with small gravel and sand.
When the correct consistency is reached, the fast-setting mix is transported very quickly in a lined wheel-barrow. The crew carefully packs the hard-to-reach spaces of the form first. This report will continue.
