My friends think that I'm in some sort of secret society. Ever since they went over to my place, they were astonished at how I polished my own concrete floor, mostly because it actually turned out well. Truth be told, however, my only grunt work with regards to the floor was removing the tiling that used to be there. Otherwise, all I did was surf the web for a contractor in the vicinity; he's the one that would know a secret handshake, if there was one.
Nevertheless, I went to my friend's place last week because he wanted me to get a look at his own concrete floor. I recommended my contractor to my friend, but he preferred to have me take it a look at it first before calling someone. He heard that not all concrete could be polished. So before doing anything drastic, he determined that I should check out if the concrete was fit for the task.
The first that I noticed when I got there was the carpet covering the whole floor. Now, he told me to go there to inspect the concrete underneath, so clearly these things had to go. But then, the carpet was bolted to the floor with nails. Thus, simply checking the concrete floor necessitated something drastic.
My friend was persistent, though. Soon, the carpet was all rolled up in the attic. Now as I told people time and again, I'm no concrete expert, but I was really skeptical about this case. The floor had a lot of chipped concrete parts from the places it had been nailed into. It also had some kind of white sand-like coating.
It wasn't difficult to convince my friend to contact the contractor after. We both agreed that it was the right move. So a few days after, I went back there, this time bringing along the contractor.
Even the contractor was skeptical. He didn't at all look pleased when he saw the shape of the concrete floor, but he had an idea. It was still doable, but it required working out all the imperfections into a pattern. My friend decided to try it out. - 16752
