4/3/06, foundation, roof & kitchen sink

I finished spreading spackle around the foundations pieces and carving the blocks.

I wasn't overjoyed with the prospect of paint, I want it to look like bare concrete block, so I tried my India ink & isopropyl alcohol mixture. Better, probably won't show up in the picture.

I'm finishing up trimming the edges of the roof openings with foil.

When I made my Belfast sink for the pub I had all this nice thin, flat clay for the bowl, so I made extra and also the plumbing. This time I used lengths of dowel for the legs and I'm going to glue two taps to the wall.

Since the place where I want to put the sink is where primer leaked under the masking tape & ruined my "hardwood" floor, I'm going to clip a bit of newspaper from the classifieds and glue it under the sink

and spray a mouthwash bottle cap aluminum to put a trash can under the sink.

I'll also be making a fabric ruffle around the bottom, like my DM had to hide the junk she stuck under her kitchen sink. I cut the drainboard supports from one of the punchouts and I'm painting them blue. I found a lovely countertop sample chip in a blue marble pattern to make the drainboard.

I'm thinking I'll use more scraps to make the refrigerator, since DGM's was a single-door model with the cooling coils on top.
