Floor repair and prep

With the help of Scott and Nate, we prepared the floor for concrete for next Saturday. We went around the place rolling on the Redgard Waterproofing and Crank Prevention Membrane. This membrane stabilizes lightweight and gypsum concrete surfaces, which is in our condo.

This stuff is really easy to apply. You just roll or paint it onto the floor and let it dry. Since this is gypsum concrete, we had to first apply a primer, a diluted version of the Redgard. That application dried in about an hour. Next, we applied a full strength coat to the floor and then we were done for the day. I think it took the three of us an afternoon to complete.

I feel confident about this step because I've already done it in the bathroom. Now, it's just a larger area.

Tile prep: The Challenge of Cutting Curves

I successfully made all of the straight cuts on the tiles but it was quite a process. After the first few cuts, I decided I would gradually cut my way towards the cut line. I kept cutting away portions of the tile until I got to where I wanted it to be. This worked quite well. All was going well until I had to start cutting the hole out of the tile to make way for the toilet. A Home Depot employee recommended I use a diamond tipped blade for a jig saw to make the cut. This way, it'll go faster and still be able to guide the cut along the curve. It didn't work very well. The blade barely got through the tile. I had to lean on the saw to get it to move, which it hardly did. It got so tiring I had to start taking breaks. Well, at one point as I lifted the saw away, the tile snapped in half! I stood there in shock! The tile had suddenly broken-debris flying onto the ground. That's when I thought I'm really glad I take safety precautions like wearing eye protecti...

I poured 100 lbs of concrete!

Custom Building Products is the name of the company who produces all of the flooring materials I have used so far. They include the waterproofing membrane, primer and concrete. I want to give a shout out to their technical support hotline at 800-272-8786. Prior to executing each step, I've called and consulted with the technical advisers at Custom. They've always been available, easy to talk to and given me direction and reassurance on how to execute each step. I am so thankful for their availability and assistance! First I applied the two different coats of waterproofing membrane. Second I applied a primer. Both of these steps were really easy. All I had to do was roll the liquids onto the floor. The waterproof membrane Finally, it was time to pour the concrete! I was most excited about this step because I've only done this once before, when I was a kid. I felt pouring concrete would be a great achievement in my DIY experience. Again, the guys at Custom gave...

Bunk Bed Completed!

We finished painting the bunk bed and we think it looks great! The paint went on really well and it feels nice and smooth. The bunk is held together by 4 inch lag bolts and I was not looking forward to having to wrench down each one of them by hand. So I asked good 'ole trusty Google if some sort of impact driver socket adapter existed. Lo and behold, yes! I found a cheap adapter at Harbor Freight for $3 and it worked out quite well. I'd recommend getting a nicer one if you're going to be installing as part of your profession but if it's going to be a one off thing then this a great bet. It took about an hour for the four of us to assemble it (yes, I put the kids to work).
