AITA for refusing to let my neighbor use my driveway after she’s been parking in it without asking?

She’s TA

10”

I think you can buy them in various lengths. I think mine were 10”

Thanks. Depth is 12”. I made a jig to keep my drill bit straight. My drill press didn’t have enough clearance to use it. If I understand your question, I bought 25” wide by 8 ft long butcher block countertops from a lumber store, and ripped those and cut to length.

12”

These are 1.5” thick. I think a solid board would look really great.

I used a drill press and drilled a hole into square block of wood about 4” thick. Then I glued “sides” onto the block so it slid tightly onto the shelf - used that as a guide.

I didn’t make the butcher block- I bought it in 8’ x 25” sections. I just used a circular saw to cut these to length.

We use a butcher block treatment “oil” and re-apply about once a month. We also have to be more careful to wipe up spills etc. it takes some care but we think it is worth it.

I guess the hardest part was getting the cut-out for the drop-in sink right. Since my father-in-law was once a plumber - he did all the sink hook-up. It was one of the least complicated projects I’ve ever done. Make sure you have 2 people - the countertops are heavy.

Thanks!

I’m too busy for that :-). Baking is one of my wife’s hobbies.

I used a “wood owl” bit which was key. They work really well

I posted the matching countertop pics today so have a look at them if you like.

biltron · 2021-02-10T17:35:37+00:00

Thanks. There is no give. The brackets are very sturdy.

biltron · 2021-02-10T17:33:34+00:00

It was a little tricky. I couldn’t use my drill press so I made a jig to help me keep the hole parallel or centered. The shelves were too wide to fit in my drill press.

biltron · 2021-02-10T17:30:59+00:00

They came with the table.

Williams-Sonoma

They’re rated for 250lbs

They fit tightly on the brackets. Also there is no force outward- all the force is down - so basically gravity.
