  1. I am charging him 30/hr basically - that is low for commercial but it could lead to more #degreaser sodium hydroxide (lye/caustic soda)or zep purple #concrete pretreat to kill organics - sodium percarbonate oxygen bleach - hydrogen peroxide #concrete post treat oxalic acid - not as severe as muriatic acid but brightens/whitens

  3. Concrete puck.

    Useful for putting under things. And keeping the pesky grass away.

    Simply pour excess concrete into a bucket and kick it a few times to let the bubbles out. Two days later, pop it out by gently tapping on the bottom.

  5. The Last Days of the Loretto Extension

    The ugly monstrosity that was an extension to the Loretto School in Youghal, in 2023. It was finally demolished in January this year.

  7. Maia del Mazo Urban

    A crouching figure anchors the lower foreground, radiating defiant ease through a composition of stark geometric angles and blown-out white negative space. The bold primary hues of her graphic tee and red shorts pop against the pale overcast sky, drawing focus to the intricate textures of her floral combat boots and the precise horizontal banding of her socks. Low-angle perspective transforms the concrete surface into a stage, while her upward gaze and relaxed posture imbue the scene with a […]

  11. This evening Chico dropped a fruit stem on the concrete slab and gave me the shot of the year — the happy curb!

  13. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🧱🛠️ A 1,900 year old latrine at Hadrian’s Villa in #Tivoli, #Italy, may hold the key to #Roman concrete’s enduring strength.

    Researchers from UC #Berkeley discovered that #carbonation, not just the well known pozzolanic reaction, allows calcite to fill cracks and heal the material over time. The findings could guide efforts to reduce #concrete’s massive #carbon footprint.

  15. Take a path

    From Ragtag Daily Prompt, the prompt today is: Concrete Jungle

    In the Concrete Jungle of downtown Minneapolis, where tall buildings and dark shadows reign, where strangers fear the intimacy of eye contact with others, where a phone demands attention to provide comfort, the trees need to reach out and introduce themselves.

    Leave the jungle and step off the concrete path for just a moment.

    Follow another path.

    Look up.

    Look around.

    Breath.

  17. Back at Jubilee Hospital. Today, it's for work. At RJH for next 2 hours with a client.

    I think these concrete exterior walls would look better, and feel warmer, if they had pretty art murals painted on. It feels so cold & unwelcoming, as it is - gives off prison vibes.

  20. After two weeks of Monsoon, summer is back, so I can finally continue on the foundation.

    The south side had some work done by a previous owner, badly. They laid down one of his famous concrete pylons on top of soil and vegetation and poured concrete on it, against the stones, above ground only.

    No reinforcement, nothing underneath, no connection to the stones, not even pre-wetting. The pylon sagged away, detaching from the concrete and the pour cracked in several places. It's not like they didn't have rebar, I found lots of that in the garden!

    It all has to come off. Luckily it isn't adhered well. I stuck in my prybar and a big chunk fell off.

    I dug the pylon out, rolled it away from the house and dragged it to the backyard.

  22. Located near the entrance to the #Nazi Underground City complex at Osówka (Podziemne Miasto Osówka) in the Owl Mountains, #Poland.

    Most likely, a foundation for a heavy equipment or service infrastructure supplying the #underground #tunnels.
