Who doesn't love a good DIY project?

I know everyone of you don't mind a little home updating and get this...YOU can do it yourself! & guess what FOR CHEAP! My parents live in the home that my great grandparents built many years ago! They haven't been alive for nearly 20 years! Since we moved in 1995 from Baird, Texas to Hamby,Texas their have been very few changes or updates made besides adding my parents things! Of course their has been new carpet an the removal of the old colored bathroom sinks, toilets an bathtubs! We also have updated the kitchen and made the once carport a enclosed game room! But I was so very proud of my mom when she said she was ripping the carpet out! But I didn't know what her idea for it was to be! So here it goes!
things you will need!
•rent a concrete sander
•pads for sander
• paint thinner
•hammer
• small crow bar
• a box cutter
•latex concrete paint
• and your choice of glaze
•polyurethane for the top coat

Step one: remove old car pet and the tack board strips with nails
(hammer,crow bar, box cutter)

Step two:place pad on sander , throw down some corn mill and begin sanding your area.

Step three: if you still have some glue residue that's where the good old paint thinner comes in!
(rag, brush, paint thinner!) ---you must get the glue residue off!

Step four:sweep and vacuum your area for the last time to make sure your area is clean.

Step five: with a roller and a long stick roll your choice color of latex concrete paint on, this might take two coats depending on condition of concrete






Scary bright huh? This is a rust color.
Step six: let area dry
Step seven: the choice we needed involved 4 extra colors




Brown, maroon, yellow, red.
You swirl brush the brown on bottom.
You take the remaining three colors and begin
Red and Maroon very heavy on top of of brown.
Then yellow on top to mix it all in






Now that we have seen that we go to this next step


Same are just blended
And we are FINISHED



•last but not least you add two colors of the polyurethane.
