What this week, we’re in Lake of the Ozarks Missouri. This is Rick with Custom Concrete Design. We’re down. Horseshoe been here. We’re gonna be working on this. Well, it’s, two pillars. Just just the driveway pillars am four, but they just want the front ones done here in front of the house.

So we’re gonna. Do both of these already got everything prepped up and ready to go for some concrete, a little patchwork, but we’re gonna do a real light gray on the majority, probably 90 % of it. The other 10 % is gonna, be a little bit darker gray, just on this front facing here this little border.

So already for some concrete, you go ahead and get this stuff on. Ok, we ‘ Ve got the base coat on the two pillars here, so we are ready to go for another base coat tomorrow. I’m gonna spray. That long and then we’re gonna make that trim a little bit dark for tomorrow.

That goes around where I’ve got that taped off right there in the front a little bit darker, I’m gonna spray it on tomorrow. Okay, we just put our third base coat on our third coat of concrete.

I should say that’s, the texture coat, which is a knockdown finish, and we just finished up our third coat on the trim, so the trim is a little bit darker than the rest of it. I put our final coat texture coat on earlier today, and we just put that darker coat on there finished up about 30 minutes ago.

So we’re, just letting it dry still wet. It will lighten up some, not a lot, but it will lighten up some over here. We sprayed this one first and you can SEE WHERE THIS ONE IS lightening up already, because it looks splotchy.

You see the dark spots, you see the light spots so that light area is actually dry right now, but that will darken back down as we seal it. Tomorrow I’m going to come back and seal this thing. This will darken down a few shades too, but it’s.

You know it’s completely dry and then this will. This will actually go back to the darker shade. Once it’s sealed, but it dries quite a bit lighter so anyways, as you can tell you know this one is considerably darker over here, but they turned out pretty nice.

I’m happy with them. Okay, this job is done and put sealers on yesterday to coat the sealer and the clients put the fixtures back on top sometime this morning. I guess that’s, the big light that I was talking about, the chrome band around the perimeter on that top slab, that’s.

Why we left that you know we didn’t code, it so we just wanted to seal. It looks nice and clean now, if you guys are watching this on youtube. Please subscribe to my channel like the video.

Okay, this is Rick with custom, concrete design Lake of the Ozarks Missouri. This week I am in Lake of the Ozarks Missouri on the bagnell, damn strip at T LaFata’s Salon. This is my wife salon and the coming weeks I’m, going to be doing the entryway and a metallic epoxy, but this week I’m just working on this little slab here.

Obviously I already started the grinding there’s, a crack. I’m gonna have to repair there. I’m gonna get the rest of this grinding run, put a base coat on and we’re gonna tape out up wood pattern, so it’s.

Gon na gonna be wood planks and we’ll stain it make it look like wood and then we’re going to seal it down alright. Well, we got the pattern down. What I did was, as I did four inch planks. Orange width and then six inch width and then just kind of staggered, the length of it, and once we had the pattern down just sprayed over a basically what I call a tack coat, what it does is it seals that tape kind of locks, everything in so You know my next coat that goes over the top of it being that it’s.

Gon na be a different color. We don’t want that color to bleed up underneath to taint the tape and get on to our dark grout. So we put a tack coat down to basically seal that tape. You can kind of see the pattern all right.

We got this project finished up here at T the FATA salon, Lake of the Ozarks. I just finished up a Facebook live video, so if you guys are, if I’m friends with you on Facebook, be sure and tune in to my live videos.

You guys know what we did, because you watched the previous videos, but we did the coloring yesterday and and then seal it up yesterday afternoon really turned out nice.

So you really can make concrete look like wood there. You go six-inch planks, four inch planks. All staggered different links and then I use three different colors. I use Bart Brown and an amber, and then I used those two colors to make.

My third color really turned out nice, though it’s, got some great texture to it. Give you a little bit more of a close-up here, made some not holes nail holes if you guys are on my youtube channel, make sure you get subscribed.
