Forms are woodworking
I know, this is not woodwork. Although the forming is.
Actually, more people are turning to concrete patio that wood deck to minimize the aged wood issues. john |

Cheaper. Faster.
I do like wooden decks though. I love them. I do not really like this theme and color here.... That is a clients choice. I could do much better but this was a "quick" patio, and no frills. john "Upscale" wrote in message ... "jloomis" wrote in message I know, this is not woodwork. Although the forming is.

That does not diminish the work required to make the forms and the curves -- very good work. -- There is never a situation where having more rounds is a disadvantage Rob Leatham |

Nice job. I especially like the choice of stamp. Gives the house a
great organic feel. My kinda house. It for sale? Just did similar to my mother's house last month, although much smaller scale. We had planned a deck but a patio is so much lower maintenance and cheaper, faster to install. She was apprehensive before install and loved it after completion. Her neighbor got pavers last year and are sorry they did after seeing how great the textured crete came out. Next year we erect a small fence for privacy. This housing area is an adjoining two-house deal, so everyone has one real close neighbor. `Casper I know, this is not woodwork. Although the forming is.

I would have:
Taken the old rock steps out. Built a "Trex deck with pressure treat under floor joisting system" near the patio door. Then provide nice stairs down to a decorator patio. I also would choos a lighter color.... I would not go with the dark grey look. You have to build what the customer wants, and if they give in a bit..... They get a much better product end result....... I wished the lady would have let me do some design work but she was livid with keeping the old rock stair look......... and choosing a dove grey color. john "Leon" wrote in message ...

this is stencil concrete.
I would have liked to give her more design input but she wanted one thing.... Grey Patio and keep the old stone steps..... I did exactly what was wanted of the customer, and would have had more fun and a better project if I could have designed it............ john "Casper" wrote in message news Nice job.
