Building an eat at counter

DIY Guy has been working diligently on a project for me  --


and I KNOW there are SO many other things he'd like to be doing -- or wants to do with his time...


but this week, he's doing something for 
ME
and I am so THANKFUL and excited.


He is very particular about his work -- he takes great pride in it -- and so do I.


This board is as smooth as a baby's behind


  and DIY Guy has taken great measures to give it a polished, professional look


filling cracks, routing edges . . .


A work of art that will provide an eat-at-counter for us

one of our inspiration photos

which will make this space so much more usable and open


Tomorrow the plan is to "cut down" this half wall so it will be the height we need for the eat-at counter -- (and remove the round table -- a potential garage sale item).


See the brackets on the counter?  They're the supports.  I'll have to get more supports -- we need one more for support -- and a few more for another project I have up my sleeve!
