A google search on "how to pour a concrete floor" yielded a few concrete
staining places/suppliers.

I found one relevant ref so far. Haven't read it yet, but it apparently
gives step by step instructions, and mebbe staining/bleaching advice.

Someone told me the 'crete would eventually turn white, and indeed it's
lightened up some, but the walls remain darker than the floor, altho the
walls appears to be streaking.
The floor is now an off-white, which is really not bad, but not the
sand-white you see on sidewalks, etc.

The only hand-mixed cement question I have involves color. Is there an
additive to get hand (bag or portland-sand-stone) mix to bleach out?
The ready-mix always bleaches to a nice bright white. I used to do
concrete work for a contractor, and I would often be the one stripping
forms and wetting the setting concrete. I have never been able to
duplicate the nice bleaching with a bag mix.
