? We continue our report from 8/15/08 about the construction of a new counter top for one of the restrooms in Crafts III.
The counter top will be made of a mixture of gray and white cement, sand, aggregate, and yellow pigment to get a beige coloration. The combination is dry mixed and then the water and water reducer is added and remixed.

? Jenn Epstein and Alex Dixon work in the concrete mixture by vibrating it with their hands to ensure an even fill around the sink and faucet knockouts.

? After letting the concrete set for 24 hours Rebecca Manning, Alex Dixon and Tyler Scott unscrew the sides of the formwork preparing to remove it...CAREFULLY! Report will continue 8/20/08.
