    Hey Matt, what about looking at GW and yard sales for people getting rid of their old ...»
    grills....my hubby's has two burners...and we use the grill a lot but have only used the burners 2-3 times.... the regulator you can probably buy at sears in the area of the grills and lawnmowers and tools... all you really have to do is make sure the burner doesn't have any leaks in the hose/tubing

Concrete Garden Path

We made this garden walkway with a mold that we purchased at Lowe's. We mixed the Quickcrete up and then poured it into the mold a section at a time. It was almost like making mud pies. It was a bit time consuming but we were very happy with the end result. It has held up very well as it has been down now for about 3 years.

  • 2nd & 3rd coat poly on 7/20/12.
 LQQK at that shine
I let the first coat dry well over a month. Finally
got back with a better poly this time. Use MiniWax
Super Fast Drying & able to walk on it in 3 hours. 
I applied 3rd coat same day
  • Before the stain 6/02/12- I sanded alot in soiled areas
the applied bleach to the stain- Would NOT recommend
to anyone else.
  • After the stain & poly 06/04/12- the floor stayed
tacky after about 3-4 days UGH !! Not fast enough
for my liking. Was MiniWax Fast-Drying- Clear Gloss
Changing on the next application-Needs to cure faster

Console Table

We made the top for this console table, the homeowner had the base made somewhere else. We just put the top on it. Bone white concrete top with lots of variation.
