Gene, bulk up and stop being a wimp.  That was a funny. After you sanded the top, did you still have some of that rough surface that is the factory finish or did it become perfectly smooth? |

It only cost me a vanilla wafer to hire that squirrel to get on the Paperstone....whatta mascot for a helluva price  i also got hobos coming by to take all my aluminum cans to the recycle plant....... what happen to me...

You are amazing, Gene. I need to ask you, do you prefer Gene Greenie, or Green Genie? Either way, Bowie wins. |

Well then if Genes squirrel can not get David's Hawk to fly then one knows for sure the hawk hit his head to hard or he decided he liked being fed by cookie monster better. Oh, Gene do Dave's Hawk a favor and fatten that young tike of a squirrel up with a few more of those wafers. Both you guys have better mascots than me cause some cat came along and killed off my little ground squirrel who loved chips and sunflowers. Oh and you could get him to chase rocks. So Gene you gonna teach that squirrel to run a sander or what? |

What grit paper did you start with to get that factory finish off?
BTW, you have a very nice squirrel.

Your best bet is to use him for dust collection, hence the term ,"Squirrel Cage".
Get him in their running his little legs off and you should be able to pull at least 1200 cfm.

Andy, Gene told you wrong on the sanding process. It really is one Vinilla wafer tied to the ceiling fan on high speed, one gray scotch brite pad tied to squirrel tail and go drink you morning coffe come back and top is done to perfection. That is just the morning work out in prep to deal with the high speed of the Alsaskan hawk. Next week Gene will have thta little guy installing tops all by himself . That is a cool advertisement idea though. These countertops are so environmentally freindly that the criters come over thinking it is home. |
