Day 44 & 45: Working for the weekend

Loverboy played the Santa Cruz Boardwalk Friday night concert on July 10th. They closed their second set before the encore with “Working for the Weekend”. That set the stage for Saturday and Sunday. Some of the work crew would be on vacation the following week at a music festival. The remainder of the crew (including me) will spend Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at a workshop. It made sense to take advantage of the lack of foot traffic in the home to stain and plan to seal the concrete slab on Monday and Tuesday. Joshua, Cindy and I spent Saturday and Sunday testing the SoyCrete stains for:

1. penetration into the slab
   
2. color selection
   

We sampled 6 colors of Soycrete on areas where cabinets will later be installed. The stain penetrated adequately. We eventually selected one color combination for the great room:

and another for the bedroom, closet and bathroom:

Green comment for today:
Consider using Soycrete if you are building a finished concrete slab floor. It is easier to clean up after and more environmentally friendly than the alternative acid stain products.
