Re: Cairns Build - Better Homes Queensland 134Jun 04, 2011 6:30 pm hi Lex Well we looked at the brochure of different types of concrete finishes (broom, sponge, etc) and decided on the "machine trowel" finish. It's similar to the way a house slab is finished. Traction can be added to the sealer to give it some grip http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i80/danielt25/New%20House/IMG_0270.jpg Our "Better Homes Queensland" Cairns Build viewtopic.php?f=31&t=40451 Current stage - 1st builder's clean done.

We're just waiting on the tiler to tile around the pool, then the pool fence can go in and then the pool can be finished and filled. http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i80/danielt25/New%20House/IMG_0316.jpg http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i80/danielt25/New%20House/IMG_0320.jpg Our "Better Homes Queensland" Cairns Build viewtopic.php?f=31&t=40451 Current stage - 1st builder's clean done.
