concrete floor pour




lots of prep work with all the floor tubing and plumbing .   we passed our county inspection so now for the concrete pour.   this week our concrete crew came and poured our floor and hard troweled by it hand,  for  a smooth finish.  the crew came back a few days after the pour and cut a few expansion joints in the concrete to allow for expansion and contraction.    we kept the cutting to a minimum so it will be likely some cracking will appear over time , but for us it gives the floor a very clean look.   thirty days or so of curing with no one on it so it stays clean for the acid staining and then sealing it.   at that time it will be our finished floor.  we are very happy with the floor so far and know it will crack here and there. it is a hand finish so the trowel marks show and as far as staining goes it is more art  or craft work .  we will post again as soon as it gets finished in the mean time no one in or out so i am looking at working on the stucco work if possible.
