DIY Concrete Countertop Trials And Tribulations
I've been using a temporary countertop in my house which was made of plywood. And I'm replacing it with a custom concrete countertops. The new countertops will not only look nicer but they will be much easier to clean. New countertops isn't the only thing I'm adding to the kitchen either. I also made another small storage cabinet and made a pan hanger for the wall. there's still more to do for the kitchen but its probably going to cost another 800$ish so I gotta save a little more money first. Ill be putting the rest of the kitchen on hold because winter is coming and i still really need a working hot shower. so that's my next priority now that my kitchen is slightly more functional.

    Your problem with the concrete countertops was that concrete is strong under compression, not under torsion. You need something to act as a skeleton sitting inside of the concrete to help it resist cracking and breaking. People usually use rebar. I'm glad to see that you stuck with it and ended up with a nice final result! Hopefully the wood that you poured it over will work as a support for it and completely take care of the torsion issue. Keep going! Trying is better than never doing anything at all. And done is always better than fussing over perfection and never finishing!

    On the perimeters put either around coop or fence <- preferably dig down around the perimeter bury wide chicken fencing to keep out the hole diggers. 3' is good. Severely slows down skunks, raccoons, foxes, ferrets, stray dogs, etc. Attach one side to the bottom of the existing fence all around. Don't want to dig at least lay flat continuously all around, including the gate area. Weeds will grow through and toughen if left on the top of ground. Should save heart ache if completed.

    Hey man, I think you did pretty great, if you still want to go for something more smooth and level, maybe you can try pouring food safe resin as a thin layer on top, it will give it a more glossy marble like look aswell and will set down smooth. I also think you should start each video with a small intro, mentioning that you turned a small shack to a house without any budget or DIY experience , this really sets you apart from all other offgrid/homesteading vids. Also, def announce your UA-cam uploads on instagram, thats where I found you and I didnt really realize you got a youtube channel

    I appreciate your channel because it’s nice to see someone doing everything themselves on a low budget and not having it be pinterest perfect. When looking for videos of shed converted tiny home type situations, everything I find seems to have budgets that are high enough that these people might as well be putting a down payment on a normal house. I just need a functional living space on a low budget.

    Youre doing a great job! Only thing I was thinking id of done differently was when you had the floor up so you could add insulation, I would have laid down a vapor barrier. Simply thick, 3 or 4 mill plastic sheeting, one piece, down across the entire floor and then the insulation. Any cracks or holes left exposed id of filled with spray foam.

    This just proves that the guy didn't ask anyone with brains to help him. It works but it's stupid. Put the solar panels closer to the shack and take the loss on sunlight and save the hassle of replacing the failed electronics every so many years and the unreliability of the complications.

  • @SASouthwing
    @SASouthwing Місяць тому

    I like your motivation to DIY, and your resolve to figure things out. Having said that, why did you put those components in a box next to your solar panels? Why not just have the needed components located at the house, with only the wire for the panels run to it? Add a shutoff switch at the panels and you're GTG. An 8 awg wire pair would be sufficient at long distances to get the power to your solar charge controller. Maybe 2 pair if you have more than one group of panels.
