Here's a picture of the front porch. It's hard to tell what it looks like with all of the tools and rock scattered around. The pillars have Durock on them but no rock yet.
I tried to cut out all of the junk in this picture.
Here's the gable on the garage.
I finally remembered to take a picture of the garage door. We kinda guessed on the color when we ordered it, but I think it worked out great. What do you think?
Cabinet bases are built and ready to be stained in this picture...sorry about the quality. It was at night and I had my headlights on trying to get a picture.
Here's another picture of them after they have been stained. They still have to be sanded, puttied, and a bunch of other stuff that I don't know about yet. But I'm sure I will...
So...lets talk about concrete again. I know...I said I quit and I did. However, David and Mark (our contractor and his son) have taken over the project and we're just here for the little jobs. They tried out a little closet the other day and it looks great so far. It makes me just a little sick because all they did was sweep the closet and wipe it down with a wet sponge. They also tried a different acid stain. They used Quickrete instead of H&C that we used the other day. And they didn't dilute it with water. Maybe that had something to do with it. Anyway, I took one picture of our closet after they sprayed it. This is not what it will look like finished. Just what it looks like after it was just sprayed. You can actually see the bubbling from the acid reacting with the concrete. Oh...and just so ya know, it does burn your skin if you get it on you. Just ask Mark and Doyle!
I'll try to do a post later on the concrete stain progress with pictures so you can see what it looks like during each step. Wish us luck!
