Ummm, sure some of you had BBQ's and pool parties for the 4th. You probably traveled, since you had a three-day weekend and you hung out with friends and family. I am sure many of you saw parades and let off fireworks and had hot dogs and hamburgers. You had a great weekend and so did we -- sort of. I ran the kids into BC to watch the parade but afterwards there was no fun pool party for us - no sir. I forced my family "Chad" into slave labor and we stained the concrete in our garage. Oh yea, it was a bit hot out but that only made the stain dry faster hehe. Staining concrete is not the most difficult project we have undertaken but the 100+ temps did not help any. It is a three step process - you need to etch the concrete with acid (did I mention you have to scrub in the acid), then you spray on the stain (it helps if your sprayer does not have a cracked hose inside of it) and finally you roll on the sealer. Sound easy -- and it was - but it was really hot outside and well I like to complain. Here are some pics -- hope we did it right, I am too scared to drive the car in yet!!!
