The Big Project


I decided to take on a rather daunting project for Memorial Day weekend. Over the last few days we have dug, leveled, formed, spread, leveled and poured a patio on the back porch. Yes I am beat. The patio is curing now and I am waiting to expose the aggregate with a hose and a brush with a power washer on back up, just in case. In about 4 hours I will start spraying and brushing the concrete to expose the beauty beneath the surface. Then in about 2 days I will wash the surface with 10% muratic acid and water to clean the haze from the stone and then in about 30 days I will apply 2 coats of sealant. I hope all this effort is worth it.

Later all
