How to build a temp kitchen for under $200!
The faucet and reverse osmosis purifier are the only items that will be used in the actual final product, the since was $42 and is a flimsy pile of ****. The counter tops were $39 each, two 6 foot sections. At least makes our house guests a little more comfortable next week.
Garbage disposal, dishwasher, everything is hooked up. At least nice to be able to drink out of a real glass and eat off a real plate.

So... How'd you cut the countertops? I was thinking about picking up some corrian and using the existing tops as a template, but I have no idea how to cut or install a counter.
Corian will cost you as much as granite and cutting it yourself could end up costing you a bundle, that is just a formica top, i cut it with a combination of jigsaw, skillsaw and sawsall. Ideally you would make your long cuts with a table saw or radial arm saw.

corian is like working with wood, it comes slabs, you need to either glue on a bull nose or router the edge, special care is needed to install it correctly so it wont crack later on. If you want a splash board you will have to glue that too
its not a easy thing, the adhesive is only sold by suppliers, involves sanding, gluing and more sanding of the seams, etc...
