dirty jobs.




It is certainly true that I could have an entire blog devoted to the dirty jobs that Mike Blanc has taken on during our house project.  Many of them are to help keep our expenses down.  Many of them are because they are such  stinkin' dirty jobs that no one wants to do them no matter what you pay them!

Last night Mike finished the final room in the grind-the-concrete-on-the-basement-floors project.  Note: This is a dirty job.  And thanks to Mike, now the painters can come in and finish painting the basement floors!  The square footage in the basement is massive by the way. 

Basement concrete expoxy paint sticks better and holds better when the surface is free of any existing paints or oils - and adheres best when the surface is slightly roughed up. So hard-working Mike grinded all the floors with a hand sander - and with ingenuity he hooked up both both Shop-Vacs to pull the concrete dust. Don't worry. He was wearing a respirator as well.
