Concrete counter tops are finally gone!

Our house had well-done concrete counter tops in the kitchen.  They were a nice Aggie maroon color that matched the paint job in the kitchen.  I didn't like them because they were a little on the high side and working on them was a pain as I am vertically challenged to begin with.  

With the water damage to the floor extending under the bottom kitchen cabinets, DH ripped the cabinets out.  We plan to gut and totally redo our kitchen in the future, so we didn't want to spend a lot of money on the kitchen at this point.  DH figured he could use the old cabinet doors and drawers and knock together bottom cabinets with odd pieces of lumber he has in his shop.  The only thing we would need to buy was Formica counter tops.  So we decided we could live with an eclectic kitchen for several years, as long as it was workable.

DH had to use a chisel and hammer, then sledge hammer to break down the concrete counter tops. It was a lot of work.  Going...

Going...
Gone.  To be continued...
