The second pour


In snakes the hose.
These pizza boards get stuck to a pole, and ...
Bam! Paddles are ready to spread the sauce.
Let this cold lava flow into every crevice!
$250 per cubic meter.
4.5" thick and 1200 square feet.
16 cubic meters to do the job.
Movie!!!
Videos are taking a long time to upload, but here is a brief look at the hose as it pumps out the concrete.

This curved trowel works for beautiful edges like this next one, below.

These flat trowels are used to smooth the edges, where floor meets wall and the buffer machine will not reach.
Once the cement is poured and leveled, it is polished every 45 minutes, for a total of 12 hours. Each sanding works like a finer grit of paper. The friction of the surface diminishes and a hard, darkened, and slick surface emerges.

Slick drain lines are carved into the new patio (basin taped in red).
Oh, Max!
Wanna dance?
