One of Those Jobs I Just Hate

Post by Totally Scrambled »

It's something I've been putting off but finally bit the bullet.
Wooden counter tops and what kids can do to deface it. They've put pans straight off the hob on and burnt it, spilled stuff that would stain granite and generally made a mess of it. }hairout{
So today I set about sanding it all down, some of the marks were so deep we now have a waffer thin counter :-D
Even with the hoover going full tilt (I know I should use a proper dust extractor hoover but someone borrowed it and hasn't given it back yet) there is dust everywhere. Finally got rid of it all and have given it it's first coat of oil.
The kids are under strict instructions not to put anything on it until morning.
It now looks like it should, or will do after another couple of coats of oil.

Hope you wore a face mask what with you having a poorly cold recently . Alex did the kitchen last year and only a week after he had finished it I caught Mum chopping veggies straight on the work surface and not using a chopping board ! So its not just the kids !
It will be alright in the end , if its not alright, it isn't the end .
