Today, Joshua and I applied the base coat of
Soycrete stain on the concrete slab. In preparation for staining, Joshua determined that a quick sanding of the entire floor would have the following advantages:
- remove the majority of concrete reinforcement glass fibers from the surface
- provide a more smooth finish
- provide a more desirable appearance
Joshua sanded the entire floor and we swept and washed off the dust. After a long day, we finished applying a base coat of the colors desert sand and leather brown to the bedroom/closet/bathroom – see pic below.
We also applied a base coat of leather brown and terracotta to the great room – see pic below.
Many thanks to the following:
- Joshua for working “like a dervish”
- KZSC for playing the tunes we listen to on the solar radio
- Jason and Lydia at Greenspace, the Soycrete material supplier
- You, the reader!
I enjoy reading your comments.

My wife and I are planning to build a home in the Oakland hills in the next 1-2 years. Apex is at the top of our list. We would love a chance to see a project in the works. We will be in Santa Cruz from July 22nd to the 25th. If it would be possible to connect please contact me at tom (at) pocketeer (dot) com. Thanks.
Wow Mike! That looks really cool. I never seen anything like that. Your concrete floors are a work of art! Till next time... Jason
