Bright White epoxy and urethane floors are being installed in Lofts and Condos. What do you think?

These floors are so reflective, they just light-up the spaces we install them within. They are super low maintenance and easy to keep clean.

Cracks all returned and delaminated the overlay across the length of these cracks. BUT... even with these issues. overall it looks better than the neighbors. Georgeanne, it looks easy, but for a driveway you really need a crew who has done it to give yourself any shot at holding fast.

Staining your concrete patio to look like tile.

I was so pleased with the DIY project on our back patio! I stained the concrete to look like tile. We used painter's tape to create the look of grout lines, and we used a concrete stain from Lowe's to stain the concrete. For a step by step tutorial, just click on the link below.

couple of concerns... one. They used muriatic acid which is not recommended for use by do-it-yerselfers. The reason... neutralizing the material was never mentioned.
