  • I think the microwave will be a decent compromise, but time will tell. The counters were definitely a choice due to price. The whole build is coming from paychecks and i couldn’t justify the cost of stone. I def didn’t want the home depot special counters tho, formica or whatever. I picked up 30 feet of butcher block for just under $800.

















  • The pics here show a little bit of how i made it. Its made from hardwood 1x2s with 4 runners longways on the underside. The top slats are screwed from the bottom, through the runners and everything has multiple coats of polycrylic. The runners are shaped to the pan slope and have multiple points of contact, but the whole thing doesnt lay on the shower pan so it doesnt block water from getting to the drain. Also, the shower pan has a 2 inch lip all the way around to support the sides of the waking surface.

    Its an experiment at this point. Hopefully it holds up because it was a pain in the ass.
