Countertops…Day 0

In an effort to explore the island countertop more thoroughly Paul Winters and I decided to fabricate a crude template from cardboard. The panoramic photo below shows the fruits of this effort. Everyone (Paul, Deb, & Jim) agreed that the 4 x 8 sheet of plywood we put in place over the weekend looked “too big”. Having a template with an approximately correct  radius across the front edge allowed us to come to some important conclusions today. We now plan to make the island top 88” wide by 52” deep with a large diameter radius centered 32” from the back edge…I think!

This will provide 50” of clearance between both the sink and cook top and a wider path to the hallway. The good folks from Quartz Surfaces will be out Friday morning to measure for the Cambria tops.

The sketches below show the proposed island countertop and clearance dimensions in more detail…
