We’ve got to get it back down to the bare concrete, probably got a few cracks that we have to repair over by the closet over on the left corner. But you know, as you can tell it,’s coming up here. In spots where the, where the tires roll in and we’ve, already started the grinding over here machines ripping it up pretty good.

So we’re, going to continue that and and get this thing prepped up today and ready to go for the models epoxy. Okay, so we ‘ Ve got all the the old epoxy coat off of there ground it all down. Did our repairs it’s? All cleaned up a couple dark spots that you’re, seeing in here probably is just a tiny bit of moisture because we just got through mopping it here.

I don’t know about public. Twenty minutes ago, but it’s, all prepped up and ready to go for some tan epoxy and we’re gonna come back over that T an epoxy while it’s wet. We’re gonna toss on our vinyl chips.

[, Music ], hey guys it’s, Rick custom, concrete design in Lake of the Ozarks. This week we’re over at Timberlake village. Again doing this condo unit on the third floor. Add a bunch of carpet on it that we went ahead and removed, but as you can see, what’s left behind is a lot of carpet glue.

So we’re gonna go ahead and get started by grinding all that off. Get down to the bare concrete like out here on this deck, there is one crack out there, as you can see what we’re gonna go ahead and repair that, and I think there’s.

One right here probably barely see it. This is a cold joint. We’re gonna go ahead and get that ground out open that back up other than that, the concrete’s really in solid shape. So we’re gonna get started alright here’s, one of the cracks that we just repaired still a little wet.

That was the last place we stopped because we had to fill some in, but right here it was dry. So we went ahead and ground that down flush, so that is completely repaired there that one’s already been fixed and ground down it’s, another one.

We found working on this one right here, as you can see up there. It’s still not quite done. That’s, where we’ve stopped, and we still have these two more here, one here and one right here, so we had more cracks when we thought once we remove that glue, but that’s.

Okay, easily fixable. It’s coming right along now. Alright, we’ve finished up this job over here at Timberlake villages they ‘ Ve got the furniture back on, so we decided to shoot after the furniture is back on video on this one.

Everything’s, looking good, they’ve, got it decorated up real nice filled it up nice outside space, though, looks good. If you guys are watching this over on YouTube. There please subscribe to my channel, so you don’t.

Recently we decided to experiment with making our Decorative Concrete appear to look like a different type of concrete, normally we do alot of concrete that looks like Tile, cobblestone, flagstone, brick….. but never have we attempted to make our Decorative Concrete look like BARN WOOD PLANKS.

UNTIL TODAY!!

Please leave me your comments and let me know what you think of this NEW LOOK we have created,,, no no I’m not really implying that we created it, I’m simply saying its New to us and I believe it is very Unique and I’m happy to be installing these Concrete WOOD Floors now.

We started this Project with Concrete that was about 20 years of age, it had several cracks and some stained area’s, part of the concrete was just added within the last year, so the colors of the two slabs of concrete was way different, my client wanted to have the cracks repaired and make the New and Old concrete colors blend together and look as one single slab, and that’s exactly what we did.

Our First task was to do some grinding, open the cracks up and get them repaired, after that we had to get the concrete prepped and ready for a Brand New Overlay with some Acid Staining. The Base coats went down great and the two large slabs of concrete now looked like they were the same color, the texture was a rock trowel, once the texture was on we put plastic on the home and the screened in patio area.

Next step was to Acid Stain the entire surface to pull it all together and marbleize the surface, we used a Chocolate and a Charcoal Colorant to add into our Antiquing Stains, so we were looking for a taupe color, once we had the color blend we were looking for we started the Acid Staining Process.

The Final step was to Lock it all in with a Quality Sealer and make the concrete look new and revived, I believe we saved the home owner from having to tear out and re-place the entire slab of Old Concrete which would have cost about 20k, needless to say they were very happy, please enjoy the pictures located here I will have a Video up very soon.

Started this Project with a good slab of concrete, it had some imperfections, like a few cracks we repaired, some light grinding, and it was a little wavey here and there, but overall it was in good shape.

I started by addressing the cracks in the slab by opening up the cracks with my v-blade attached to my hand held 4 inch grinder, cleaned the crack out real well and repaired it.

More info below the Video….

I came back in ground down some of the extra repair material, pressured washed, acid etched, ammonia rinsed and then pressure washed again, this concrete was repaired and thoroughly cleaned!

The next Step was to start the overlay process, I began by laying out the first grout coat color, followed by the second grout coat color, we went with a medium tone Chocolate color for the grout.

Once the grout coat was established the next day we came back in and taped out our 10inch boarder, then applied our tack coat over the tape with the grout coat to seal the tape and prevent any bleed under. (Blocks the top coat color since its a different color all together).

Now we are ready for a different Color to lay over top of these 3 coats of concrete and the fiber tape that’s now embedded within the last layer of concrete. This coat is a light palomino color which is sort of a light greeish/beige color, but it look good as you can see in the Video above, its the same color as the Texture coat, which is next.

ok now its ready for some texture, we apply the texture all with a trowel, which is very time consuming, this step took all day, well most of it. Ok so now we are ready to mask off the entire deck area, meaning the railing and the condo area, because the next step is Acid Staining the whole deck.

Acid staining, ok here we go… 2 pump up sprayers one with acid stain (brown chem-stone cut 5 to 1) the other is for water to allow the acid stain to disperse evenly, first the water very lightly then spray some acid stain, this technique makes it feather out naturally, and marbleizes very nicely!

I had to wait a few hours for the stain to react to the concrete overly, so I thought well why not hit the gym and kill a few hours, so I did… yes I was feeling a little like Rocky Balboa lol… anyway I came back pulled the fiber tape under my 3 coats of concrete, reveled my grout coat color and my 10 inch boarder came to Life!

Last day was just to come in clean it all up real nice and start mixing the sealer, 1 st coat goes down very quick and the color just pops!!,,,the second coat really pulls it all together, locks it down and now its shining bright like a diamond, very nice gloss!!… This outside deck at Seascape Condo’s in Osage Beach, MO is now saved and will go on to live a very long and happy life!!
