Wrap your counter in aluminum foil and just replace it once a week. Put down a layer of straw on the floor instead of tile. Slash and burn decor is the new thing.

I work in a hardware store in the paint department. This is special paint that is made to bond to countertops. It is food safe once it dries. I would rather have the granite, but that paint works and will hold up well. It is a two step system that they don’t show you to create the hardness needed to stand up to kitchen or bathroom use.

yeah surely she just didn't show all the prep work on camera, she totally did all that and didn't just pour paint onto the counter and stick tiles on a dirty floor. it just looks like she did

This is the paint she's using. It's paint designed to be put on counter tops and then have a second layer that makes it look like marble.

Way back in my teens I was doing electrical work for this French chef who was building his house. I'm not sure what he was doing for his kitchen, but for his bathroom, he wanted everything marble. He was later killed under suspicious circumstances. How does marble work for countertops as far as being easy to clean? I guess it's pretty expensive.

Marble is pretty soft, so easy to scratch and it wears down, etc. It's also porous so easy to stain. You can rehone it to clean up the scratches and whatnot, but the porosity means some stains might just get in there deep and stick around.

And when the countertop sales guy says they triple seal it and it's stainproof, there's an entire loving font pack of asterisks and symbols adding caveats to that statement.

Marble is calcium carbonate. It's slightly water soluble, so small bits you might inhale dissolve and cause no harm.

Not to derail with San Diego's absolutely stupid city politics, but there have been numerous attempts to move the airport. Everyone hates the planes - they call it 'the Point Loma pause' because you have to stop talking when a jet takes off. The airport had to pay a kerjillion dollars literally refitting every single building in the flight path with dual-pane windows and soundproofing. They literally cannot run a light rail to the airport because there is so much poo poo crammed in that area - the go-forward strategy is shitloads of busses running on city streets. Redeveloping 663 acres of downtown, waterfront real estate would alleviate 99% of San Diego's problems, but Boomers in Del Mar are confused about commuting to a different airport. The Navy has offered a couple of times to develop Miramar into a joint public airport, but thats "too far away"



San Diego is the dumbest and most dysfunctional big city in California, maybe the world

That's why god created hot pads, trivets, and dish towels.

In fifty years, the only burnt countertop in our house happened because my drunk father picked up a working cast-iron pan from the stove without using a pad, screamed, and dropped it on the counter.
