Day 46: Staining the concrete floor

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.
