Sidewalk Complete!

Cendy's was surprised to be woken up on her day off by the Camocrete crew on Monday. I'm glad she was home, because she was able to take some good pictures to document the last day of work. I came home from work at lunch time to watch the finishing touches. Here are some pictures.

Jesus holds the guide board steady as Rich sawcuts a control joint in the sidewalk.Rich power washes the patio to remove the excess form release powder.
Rich uses some Tide and elbow grease to remove some more of the colored release powder that is embedded into the concrete. A little of the brown/black color is good, but not too much.
Jesus uses a blower to dry the concrete in preparation for sealing.
Rich uses a foam brush to apply concrete stain to the compass.
Rich applies concrete sealer with a roller. We chose the matte finish, as opposed to a high gloss. It looks shiny upon application, but dries to a nice low gloss finish.
Cendy inspects as Rich applies a second coat. A foam paintbrush is used to apply sealer to the edges. Rich also would go back and apply sealer to the patio side in the foreground.

Final picture coming soon once it's stops raining!
