Commercial work is always exciting, and this Fort Worth job was certainly not the exception. Lots of people running around keeping busy doing their thing and coordinating between all these different trades so that they are not falling all over your work keeps you on your toes.
We started by building the mold directly on site, what we call a cast in place countertop. This creates a seamless countertop as we pour the entire countertop in one shot. Our first challenge was the base our contractor had provided it. It was pressure treated wood that was so wet that it still “bled” water every time we screwed into it. You can imagine just how warped the wood was, and yes, it’s very hard to build a straight bar countertop when the base is going every which way but loose, but we managed.
