Painting: Has anyone used the new Rustoleum(?) product for "painting" your kitchen countertops?

I hate my 1968-70 avacado green formica. It is scratched, chipped, burn marks, but I can't afford granite or any other natural stone, etc. This looks good on their website but I worry it ...»
will peel or chip with time. Anyone have any experience with this stuff, or advice?

    Thanks everyone for your replies. DYI Showoff, I did view your project and it looks great. I ...»
    have watched the Rustoleum tutorial. I have about 16 feet x 2 1/2 (counting the backsplash) od counter top. I think it is a big project for my first try and I am worried about time. Can I do the base coat and chips 2 or three feet at a time or must I complete step one before going to step two? If you sand enough does the finished countertop feel smooth? I sure I must have more questions but I am feeling more confident about trying this. Thanks for any advice or tips you can share with me.

  • a work in progress?

Gardening: my backyard is mostly dirt and very shady. 2 dogs that keep paths worn down. Very slanted and poor drainage.

I wish "Yard Crashers" would show up but probably not. Any suggestions for plants that will grow in shade and the dogs won't dig up? Or should I just give up?
