It seemed like a good idea at the time. Our kitchen counter has been decaying around the sink since before I bought the house. In fact, at one point things were actually sprouting in it. I pulled the counter apart, which, since it was rotten, mostly involved vacuuming it away. I’ve got the new frame in place as well as the new plywood underlayment. I’m working on the cement backerboard which will be followed by tile.
