Acid Trip.....


Today( Sunday, Jan 22nd) we taped up plastic sheeting to the doors and walls on our first floor and applied two coats of acid stain to the concrete.

Later this week we'll have to rinse the floor several times to get rid of the acid residue and then apply two coats of sealer.

Here in Sacramento there is a place to buy specialty concrete supplies, it is called Spec West. They have a ton of info and a great web site, see it here: http://www.spec-west.com/intro.htm

Want to learn how to stain concrete yourself? This site has a lot of info: http://www.concretenetwork.com/concrete/acid_etch_staining/index.html?source=gooaw&kw=13b

Our color is the exotic sounding`tan' from Triple S Chemicals in Los Angeles - see it here:

Hi Mike & Hi Jeff: Awesome 'tan' floors. Soon you'll be filling it all with furniture! Outstanding place - just like both of you. Are you still friends - after all of the crises and attainments? I'm still kickin'. Tom's still workin'. Pixie Pines this summer?????

Electricity is done!

Our electrical service is done! (well, except for the all important punch list that will be knocked out on Monday) The Integrity Electic guys spent several days here this week. They said we have one of the most intense switching systems they have ever seen in a residential project.......I must confess that I'm still not sure what all 12 of the switches behind the front door actually do..... Pictured is Joe from Integrity Electric putting the finishing touches on our kitchen island. The counter top guys were here on Wed to measure the counters, they were fabricated today and will be installed next Wednesday....
