This is how the counter came out so far

I love them. It was weird though. We have been planning them so long that when they were in place it just seemed like nothing new. I think we have 18 feet of counter space to work with. The sink is nice, we beach combed it. We bid on a faucet on Ebay since it is a wall mount, its a little hard to find. Hopefully we will win. The center section is big enough to sling a deer up there and piece it up.
We have one more counter to build next to the fridge. Jonathan is going to make it out of the left over bamboo. We ordered our appliances too. That was super scary but I think we did really well. Still I am loosing sleep over it. We have an old fridge and stove but realize with the waterwheel and generator set up they will never have enough power to work. So we ordered a super efficient refrigerator and washer and dryer. We also ordered a propane stove, so we will have to bring in a tank for the propane. Hopefully the supply for this fuel will be available for some time. Gas and diesel supply was spotty this winter. We always have the wood stove though ;) Jon's Mom had to do her laundry by hand on the floathouse when they grew up. Another lady told me how she had just the spot in a river with perfect rocks for doing laundry. All this was just 20 years ago. I don't even want to go there.
