Bathroom countertop replacement

Back from our Nova Scotia vacation - it's time to get back to the Avion!

First, a reminder of the "before" bathroom. The countertop was not in good shape - edging coming loose and it was buckled in places.





We removed the countertop and carefully made a pattern from fiberboard.  This is to be used with the router to cutout a perfect copy of the old countertop.  (The old countertop was too damaged and not smooth enough to use for this purpose, if you're wondering!)





Always check twice!!  We put the pattern in place just to make sure it was the fit we wanted.



Next we cut out the countertop from the "scrap" Corian.



And we cut out this small piece that will be epoxy'ed in place to make the final edge of the countertop.




Edge glued in place.





Now the pattern goes back in place -  the edge looks rough and uneven here - but a final run of the router makes it perfect!



And there it is!  Beautiful!    Next will be installing a sink - I haven't decided which one yet though!
