Hi, I am new to this site and to be honest new to major re-modeling jobs as well. I have recently bought a house that needed 'cosmetic' repairs. Well, needless to say it has needed much more than cosmetic work. I have replaced dry wall, re-wired lighting replaced rotten windows ect. Now my next project is the kitchen. Right now it is a gally style and I hate it. I want to remove the cabinets and counter top on the left side of the kitchen and swivel them to meet the right side. Making it L shaped. However the counter top is my problem. It is a horrible blue 'marble' laminate. I have heard of people removing the laminate and relaminating it themselves but I am a 1 woman operation here. I want it to look nice but it also has to be something I can do (I can not afford to hire someone to do them). How hard is it REALLY to relaminate a counter top? Would I be better off looking into tile? Time isn't an issue I can take my time doing it I just need something I can accomplish on my own without help without draining all my funds. Thanks in advance for your answers. Tammy :D
