CONCRETE FAIL

CONCRETE FAIL YESTERDAY WE BROKE UP THIS ROCK, LUBED UP THE FORM AND COVERED ALL THE CRACKS WITH SOME INITIAL NOW THAT WE'RE READY TO POUR, I'M GONNA CUT A PIECE OF THIS TILE CORNER BEAD THE PAVER SIDE FROM THE CONCRETE. OUR PAVERS ARE A WARM TAN SO WE'RE GONNA USE A THIRD OF A BOTTLE OF DYE PER BAG OF THIS BUFF COLOUR AND THEN ABOUT A TABLESPOON OF THIS CHARCOAL BLACK COLOUR. SUPPOSEDLY THIS WILL MIX TOGETHER AND MAKE A GOOD MATCH FOR THESE PAPERS, BUT I HAVE MY DOUBTS. ALRIGHT, LET'S SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE ALWAYS PUT THE WATER IN FIRST AND MIX THE DYE WITH THAT. OTHERWISE IT WON'T MIX RIGHT YOU'LL GET BLOTCHINESS. ALRIGHT, THIS IS LOOKING KINDA TAN AND I, I UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S GONNA BE A LOT LIGHTER WHEN IT DRIES. SO WE'LL JUST KEEP MIXING BUCKETS AND THEN DUMP IT INTO THE I'LL USE A TROWEL TO JUST PUSH IT AROUND. I WOULD DESCRIBE THE COLOUR ON THIS AS CENTURY BROWN. SO WE'RE GONNA CALL AN AUDIBLE QUARTER INCH LOWER THAN I OTHERWISE THIS WAY, IF MY WIFE HATES I'VE GOT JUST ENOUGH SPACE TO PUT DOWN SOME TILES. WHO KNOWS, MAYBE THIS WILL JUST LIGHTEN UP AND LOOK GREAT. BUT DON'T BET THE FARM ON CONCRETE IS PERMANENT. OKAY, SO NEXT WE'LL USE THIS CURVED THIS WILL LEAVE US A NICE ROUNDED CORNER ON THE FRONT OF AFTER ABOUT ONE HOUR, WE'RE GONNA GO BACK AND BROOM THE TOP JUST ONE SWIPE IN EACH DIRECTION SHOULD DO IT. THIS WILL LEAVE US WITH A SLIP FREE TEXTURE FOR THE SURFACE, OR MORE LIKELY, A NICE GRIPPY BASE FOR OUR FINISHING TILES.
