Decorative Concrete News

The owners are working on a project and they have to pick up the supplies from the center of the house. You can see that they tried to make it easy. They all have these premix bags, he just says add water and you're ready to go right. The problem is that there are a million bags and which one do you use for the type of work you do? Well, the lesson is that each bag contains Portland cement. Cement and concrete are different things, but Portland cement is the key ingredient in everything you do. It's essentially the adhesive. This fine powder here that seems to go in all different mixtures. It is now, today, we will make concrete for this concrete, left, yes, the concrete is made of Portland cement, sand and aggregate this stone and it is what gives it strength when it is wet and ready to enter. concrete. So if it's the aggregate, that's what makes it concrete. That is true! Ok, now here, I have marked a wall to show you different mixes. We're going to use a mortar mix here, and it's Portland cement with lime and sand, and everything is glued. You see how good it is, yeah and then, in that case, you pulled out the aggregate and you added some lime. Why are you doing this? Well for two reasons: the number one: the line makes it sticky and helps to hold everything together. It also gives us some elasticity, so if it moves a little without cracking, then removing the aggregate, I guess it's because we can not have these stones between these pretty joints. Yes, we would never have a good straight sequence, all right, so we have a block. What do you use to put them together? It is a Portland cement mix that we have used below the category now. What is a mixture of Portland cement, Portland cement, sand and water? Its good! So, in this case, you got rid of the aggregate and the line. Why? Because this point here, they block a lower rank.

If you place the line below ground level, it will collapse, but the Portland cement will resist. So the grade comes here, we use Portland cement. Above we use a mortar mix, so these joints were basically talking. No aggregates above the slope line below the slope, and I guess the mixtures continue from there because they are many, but the most common. I think Homer will use. Is your base concrete, as we did for walking? That is true. Let's take a look at this: here is a recipe for concrete, it's three pots and two pot of stone and a pot of Portland cement well and that's the recipe. I just need to know if I'm going to mix it myself because you can not buy the pre-mixed stuff in the bag. But if you do a very big job, you can save money by buying the stone in the loose sand and then get a bag of Portland cement and mix it all up. Okay, and in terms of mixing, you have all the mixers. Power mixes here, but homeowners can rent these rights. This is an electric rental model that you could use for a project, but many times. We simply mix it in the right wheelbarrow. Ok, now it starts with the sand. You can get a good ball of sand, see how much cement you can get on your shovel. You challenge me here. I did yeah look at the difference. I can not really do big editing stuff, so it's not going to be the real thing. So we want to use this bucket that we will fill three times. Ok, so basically control our ingredient. At this moment, give me a cement to see how much it takes to get the same amount. Yeah tiny: it's good, so add it and I drool the mixture.

I need stone and two other sins: there is the number a stone now. The key to getting a good mix is ??to mix well before adding the water that looks good now. What I like to do is take and improve, make a hole in the middle. What most people do with a hole and they dip it because it is easier to mix, but it makes a real sloppy mix. It takes a lot of time to set up. So, what we're going to do is use a five-gallon bucket and just add a little water mix and add a little more. Let's try that what we are looking for is something of the consistency of cookie dough. It looks good now. Kevin. Remember that every time we sink a concrete, we take a shape to keep it in place underneath. We dig, we dig all the material of silt, we put in 3/4, the stone and the compaction. So we have a very good base for this concrete pad. Ok, I'll just take it and throw it away. You can move it and I will mix it up a bit more. We say funny any good level that looks good now. At this point, I can add strength to our salary. I can take a strange matrix, like this one, and put it down, and it will tie everything together and make it really solid if you build a big wall above that base. Something structural, that's right, because it's a fairly thin pour for a concrete walkway, we'll just take that lattice and put it down, and it'll do the same for us. That's all we need for a little piece, walk like this, and the key to this job is to make sure it's in the middle of not being in the bottom of the cast, so you have to make sure he's up there. Okay, that sounds perfect. Let's do a little more concrete.

I will use this float to work the stamped concrete litchfield new hampshire(nh) and make sure it is nice and compact and then we get a nice flat surface. Okay, that slab was there for about an hour. What I'm going to do is take this broom and drag it to give texture to the deck. Yeah, clean it up and use a regular old scrubber, it's teeth, make sure your stays stay nice and clean. Look at this! It's like a velvety texture, you're not going to slip, it's cool now. The next step is to take this edger we are going to take and run like this, and what are you doing here? You just make a small separation between the stamp and the shape, we also round this edge, so it would not be a sharp edge that could crack, it's the last corner of Kevin. It's a small walk and I do not worry about this cracking, but we have to worry about it for a very long walk. So, what are called control joints that say concrete, where it will crack and do it. We use this groove or you can see that it has an upper edge in the middle. Yes, I come here in the middle. You work pretty much while waiting for a big walk to cry. You can not help it. So now, it'll break where you want and it will not be ugly okay, it's ok, yes, in a way the same ideas. The sausage just has the groove in the middle. Look at it now, it really looks like a run on the sidewalk.
