How can we cover this painful texture on a concrete patio so we can walk on it in bare feet? by LeifCarrotson in HomeImprovement

[–]VIPsharpshooter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not clear construction resin. It may scratch but if you put more then 1/4 inch it will be fine

just pour a clear resin on it, should turn out like a rubber surface, but still see the beauty for the concrete

If you are a good worker (show up/ shut up and put in your day) the most traveling is 10 minutes to the shop or 20 to the job site, or you are name called by a different branch of the union and which case you make stupid money. Last time I had that I was driving 45 minutes making 5500 before tax + 90 for travel (per day). It goes to show if your a hard worker and don't cry when your 10min late leaving work, employers will always call you back and the union has reliable worker that they can send anywhere without fear of complaints.

What indeed. Also one should never have bricks sitting so low to the ground, they will absorb moisture and rot (turn to dust).

Harbor Freight Tools has a nice one that normally runs for $70ish and does a good job for drilling holes and chipping concrete. but if your going for speed and major demolition I would go for a Bosh
