Home Improvement Today?

It probably cost much less than stopping to go to the hardware store or coming back another day.

 

Leveled out the basement with the old man. Roughly a 2 hr job for about 700sqft.

 

2hrs was just mixing & pouring. The prep work to sand away the glue & gunks on old concrete floor (previously was carpet) was a 2-3 day ordeal working 3-4hrs each day. Used self leveler from Lowe's & a 1x2 stick to spread it out.

 

I used these guys. They were great!

 

It's my sister's house, they're now thinking about leaving it polished concrete w/ a sealer on top or vinyl/laminate (I like concrete or tiles more but their house)

 

Mapei is good but their rep has screwed us on large jobs in the past. We use Sika now after the last time.

Product is still good however.

 

Ya we did it before w/ sealer & the finish didn't turn out great, little rough at certain spots. We were going for the Costco/HD flooring look & found out that's pretty much impossible to do.

 

nothing too crazy, we did a huge moisture system job and we've done more than i can even imagine and this one blew up on us because of improper abatement, we installed everything to a T like we try to do and the rep blamed improper installation and threw us under the bus in front of the client. After 5 years of being loyal to the brand and rep so we took our business elsewhere. We used to use Mapei floor prep and skim on every job, its definitely good stuff and the guys loved it.

 

I've got all kinds of remodeling work going on here this week. This is interfering with my Taco project.

 

Remodeling? Looks more like a labor camp! JK, good luck, that's back/knee/soul stealing work.

 

This is bringing back ptsd from re roofing my house last summer.

And a surf rod for a handle!? I love it.
