New Porch Day 14 - February 20th, 2023
Concrete crew comes out and preps the old porch surface for a new surface
Mix powder & water in a big tub and then spread across the old surface
The slowly cover the surface of the old porch
Once completely covered, they allow several hours to coagulate
They will apply a brick stamp to the covering once firm but not dry
They leave lines where the wood panel separators are underneath
The brick stamp is places and pressed into the goo with body weight
They slowly work their way across the porch
They finish the stamping process and clean up the edges
The marshmellow topping is complete!
The crew will come back tomorrow and clean up the gaps between "bricks"
The crew will then paint the big marshmellow red similar to house brick
The surface will look very similar to before minus 20 years of grime
The new porch is very close to completion!
