It's just the patina that copper gets after it's been soldered but before it's been cleaned.

They're all done now. :)





Those would make a neat stamp on the front of the head-tube on a classic old bike. They turned out well, good work.

Our next project after the floors was to work on our kitchen.

When we bought the house the kitchen was like this. We hated the countertops, and didn't really dig the "country feel", though we loved the cabinets.


The plumbing and electrical is a bit of a mess here, but most of this was replaced or updated somehow.


We ordered countertops, but I pulled out the existing ones, because it's apparently a $400 job to have someone else do it. ($400!)


Everything out.


It was a great time to paint with the countertops out.


Countertops were put in. These are going to be great.


It took us about forty seconds to be sick of that color, this is much better.


New sink, faucet, and hot water on demand tap.


Which means that french press coffee is only four minutes of brewing time away. This is going to be sweet!


Edit: I did the plumbing work, electrical work for the water heater, demo, painting etc myself. I suppose it could look like we hired the whole thing out. The countertop was installed by Lowes, but that's it.

Looks like a heap of work, but it also looks like it was worth it. Things look classy and clean now. We're halfway through a similar project. I hate peeling wallpaper, but thankfully I think we're finally one with that part.
