wow man, you look really exhausted.... the grouting got you good, but it will be a fantastic result once you polished and sealed the surface... top job man, be proud of yourself !!
That's a lot of really hard work and tedious but you got through it there is light at the end of the tunnel and you know it will be beautiful when it's all done
Could the grout have been "swept" dry into the cracks and then topped the concrete with water to soak into the dry grout? I mean if the grout is just for cosmetic look and you will be coating over with epoxy, which would hold the grout in place regardless... could that work?
Looks good, but wonder why you like sanded verses non sanded better! The non sanded works so much better and it doesn’t stain like the other. Recommend doing the grouting after the diamond coating is done over the tile.
@@MrPostFrame thank you for the videos and allow us into your life. You have amazing skills and appreciate your diligence to redo if you have to. Learned a lot from your videos. Plan on using them when I can build one day.
Paul, at the 5:14 mark in your video, pictured is a drain line and vent pipe. I assume it's for the washer and we are looking from the back side. By no means am I a plumber, only a jack of all trades like yourself. Though are you concerned about the round about path the water must take to exit? I think your savings on flooring will be huge with the polished concrete. Keep up the great work.
Typical mistake for big caulking jobs is too little water; especially where you plan an epoxy topcoat. What do you feel is gained by a dry(er) sand mix? Strength? Safer for Epoxy coat?
The deeper the cut the more likely it'll crack where you want it to. Also the size of of the pad vs the amount of expansion/ crack joints makes a huge difference. One spot thats 60/40 on if itll crack is if your pouring a pad/porch around the outside of your house. It'll always want to crack of the edge of the house.
I think it is very likely you will see the grout color come through your clear finish epoxy finish, even after grinding, in all the areas that you hit with the sponge. The pigment in your cleanup water is drawn deep into your dry concrete. Hard to say how noticeable it will be until the epoxy is done and the light hits it just right.
@@MrPostFrame I have worked for a decorative concrete company for many years, concrete is very unpredictable. Something as simple as accidentally leaving a wet bucket overnight after cleaning the floor can produce a coloration change that is quite noticeable and may never disappear. The most common issue we see are the discolorations left from storing lumber on the slab, something that happens at every jobsite.
I am surprised you didn't wear gloves doing that sand grouting. I started out not wearing gloves when grouting and quickly sanded my finger tips raw. Bad hurt! Will never do that again.
I'm searching for my "forever" home location now... It is highly likely it will be in Central America, how do you guys feel about spending a year there helping us build?! lol... great cultural experience for the kids and testing your building skills in another country with different materials! @trekkingthrureturement
I have been waiting to see how the treatment of the concrete floor would go. As to process, we are all slaves to what we know will work till necessity pushes us past our comfort zone. FR
@@MrPostFrame I really appreciate your replies, Paul, Emily. Sometimes, Paul, I think man's lot, if he's doing it well, is to learn every day of his or her life. About what we do for work, about our families and most of all about ourselves. I have loved your series much because, although Em was not much seen, her presence has been- the work and the problems were not difficult because you were never alone to solve them. This may get me in trouble, but here goes; in five, ten years, you may have such a long list of what you could either do better or differently and will build another house! A home, as this palace is!

@@-TruthHurts Oh I missed that part.. I thought that was the finished floor.. Usually people do that before they do any interior finishes as that is a messy job..

Congrats on 100k subscribers!!! Your story is worth watching and you're one of my top models for how to do my future home build!
Awesome! Thank you!

top job man, be proud of yourself !!
That was a lot of work, you did an awesome job 👏! And it's so nice how you always explain your process and go over any possible questions! 😊👍💕💕💕

Yes, it'll be rewarding once it's finished
Beautiful Job‼️ I’m dying to see the finish product. That should be a beautiful floor and easy upkeep. LOVE IT‼️👍👍 Vinny 🇺🇸
Floor looks spectacular.
Another great video.
Thank you!
It going to look super beautiful. Thanks for the video..Great job. Thanks
Thank you! 😊
I can hardly wait until the kitchen and decorating phase I have a feeling your wife has talent in interior design
You and me both!
Mad skills
...I wish I have the ability to do what ur doing
I bet a mortar piping bag will work well in this situation..?
Looks good
Thanks!
Enjoyed the show
Thanks for watching!
That floor will be Beautiful
Thank you, we hope so
Any pics of the finished polished project. What color grout did you use?

Sanded in my opinion is stronger and I like the look of it over a smooth looking non sanded grout.

Glad to see you finally wearing knee pads!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍👍
haha thanks

My question is, is not the expansion joints designed to absorb expansion and contraction is it not? If so, then why fill in with grout?
How did you cut relief cuts so strait?
Will a 1/2” stress cut offer better protection against cracks in concrete vs 1/8 or 1/4”?
The deeper the cut the more likely it'll crack where you want it to. Also the size of of the pad vs the amount of expansion/ crack joints makes a huge difference. One spot thats 60/40 on if itll crack is if your pouring a pad/porch around the outside of your house. It'll always want to crack of the edge of the house.
Only one of the tedious jobs that has to be done. good shots on the cracks just keep it up
Thanks for watching

We will have to see! So far it's cleaned up well- that pic was before mopping anything.

You really should have pipped the grout into the cuts.
Would backer rod help here?
What happens in the event of a leak in the hose underneath ?
Break the concrete, fix it and pour.

Why are the relief cuts so deep

That would certainly be an adventure!

Will the grout stain the concrete where you applied it?
the slight surface stains won't matter since it all gets diamond ground & polished
@@-TruthHurts Oh I missed that part.. I thought that was the finished floor.. Usually people do that before they do any interior finishes as that is a messy job..
Unfortunately we had to wait because of winter/no heat and still had to progress with the build, so that's why we are just getting to it now.
@@MrPostFrame I get it man.. I am really interested to see the end result of this floor...
Do you hire out for jobs such as this?
We did this ourselves, but would sub contract for anyone we're building for. It's a lot of work!
😊💪💪💪💪
second, but i could of been first
Edit: Watched the entire thing first :D
Haha thanks for watching and commenting!
