I've thought about concrete, too. Everything I read says that it is a
"complicated project" that must be done by an "experienced professional"
(Dr. Evil emphasis added). I haven't done much concrete work, but I would
think that building forms is no more complicated than the woodworking skills
of the average rec.woodworker and a few bags of readymix are just not that
expensive. The biggest risk is that the kitchen would be down for a few
days longer than necessary if I had to bust the thing up and haul to the
dump.

What am I missing?

I'm not doing a kitchen right now, but when it's time you can bet I'll be
looking at a poured-in-place concrete countertop. Why? I have no idea but
for some reason I just want to try and make one.
