The scaffolding & walk boards that had been on site during most of the interior work of the Lone Beech Garage belong to me. I brought them out of the basement for the use of the various crews because it would be safer and more efficient for the men to use them and I'd be paying for a rented set anyway if the builder decided to make scaffolding available for some phase of the project.
The scaffolding was appreciated by the workers that made use of it but it also got completely clobbered by the drywall crews. The walk boards were absolutely covered with drywall compound dust and the scaffolding & casters needed a thoroughly cleaning as well as I intend to used them on my newly treated floors.
The weather today breezy with moderate temperature and cloudy skies. Some of the clouds, as they rolled across the sky, came with gusts of wind a threatening appearance. It was perfect weather to pressure wash the scaffolding paraphernalia as well as some other stuff that needed a good cleaning - my Aluma Utility Trailer in particular.
By the time all the cleaning was completed, it was early evening.
I stepped out to the Lone Beech Garage and took pictures of the treated floors.
I'll answer the obvious question, "Does it look like you expected it to?"
I'd say no. When the process started, I was expecting a more uniform appearance in the floor. I don't dislike it - it's just not what I expected going in. As the treatment progressed I could see it was not going to be a uniform color throughout so I had gotten used to the idea by the end of the work.
Since my goals for my concrete floor were...
1. Cleaned
2. Densifier
3. Sealed
...and these goals were achieved without turning the floor into a pink paisley color, I am happy with the outcome.
I can understand if others feel differently.

In any case, nice machine, very few drill presses are made like that any more.
