Hi Mike, The countertop video is in the editing queue right now. We had to speed up the install/finishing on the pour day due to incoming weather. With this there are a couple of important steps that didn't get on video so I need to mock up a quick concrete pour to video them. I'll bump it up in the list. Thanks for watching!!!
