Process of Making the Cement Flooring


Shay's simple steps:




First...I watch Mikey put in the "stuff" in that orange mixer thingy.


Second:


I watch Mikey scrap the sides on the orange thingy to get all the stuff mixed right. See the pretty stuff?
Third:


I watch Mikey measure out the stuff and put it in the molds.


This is where I actually help.


I spread the stuff in the mold...woohoo


Usually this is my job..but someone had to take the picture :) Fourth:

Now Mikey has to vibrate all the molds with the stuff in them.This ain't your mamas ordinary vibrator!
See how pretty the stuff is coming along?
Fifth:



Which I don't have pictures of...but we take out cement tiles and put them on a different table.



Sixth:



Mikey stains the tiles. Seventh:



I usually do this job too...we seal the tiles.



Eighth:



We carry the tiles into the house and line'em up.Nineth:



Mikey puts them on the floor.


See how easy that is....yea right

Sam and I are extremely impressed! Way to go Michael - you figured out a way to use the concrete. And it looks like Saltillo tile.
