One of the many home-improvements needed for the house was a new garage floor. Most of it had cracked, and when we lifted it up ("we" is used very loosely here), we found that it was mostly hollow underneath. Somebody cut corners somewhere! Luckily, there was no foundation damage, so we didn't worry about the rest of the house. But, the cracked floor had to be ripped up...
That meant
- First, Justin scored it with a diamond saw;
- second, we broke it up with the jack-hammer (that was FUNNY!) and Mom even joined in on that task;
- Third, we tore up the old floor and had to get the ground ready for the new concrete. Ask Justin about the difference between concrete and cement.
This is up mixing up the concrete/cement (?)... It was pretty fun!
And then the final step of pouring the stuff onto the prepared floor.
It ended up looking really nice!
Just took lots of time and a curious cat to waltz across it before it was dry.

I hope you put your hand prints in it!
good job doing it yourselves!!! way impressive.Mark did not do a good job when he did ours...we had to hire someone to come in and pour concrete on top of the concrete he had done. Don't tell anyone I told you.
Tamara's secret is funny.
You are looking great, chica! Your legs are thinning out nicely! (if that comment is embarassing, sorry. Feel free to delete if absolutely necessary.)
Great job! I'll bet that was fun!
