Restoration Project Considerations - Any Thoughts??

[4x4]

Volvo signs are few and far between, genuine signs don't come up for sale very often. I've actually got a reproduction Volvo sign at the powder coater just now, just waiting on them getting round to doing it.


EDIT: I gave the powder coating guys a call and I should have my Volvo sign within the next few days, thanks for reminding me Dave

a quick tip for anyone hiring a power float ask what trowels are fitted as there are different types available dependant on what you are doing.

Hi Simmy,

Many thanks for pointing that out, normally something like a mini digger or heavy duty concrete breaker I would hire and do DIY, as I like to learn and save a few pounds.

Having seen professional ground workers do the ride on power floats, it is definitely one skill I will not try to ‘learn’. They seem to keep the dark arts of it under their hats, but something to do with angle of trowel set dependent on the concrete conditions, along with use of float pans and combination and finishing trowels.

As my main priority with the slab, is not to end up with a dusty floor, I feel it’s worth spending, as it’s definitely a job that I only want to do once.

Cheers
Steve
