This is totally doable with some help, a mixer and time. I recently poured a 10'x12'x 5" and 12'x13'x4" rooms in a basement flat. Both were done using a HF 2.5cuft mixer which would mix 2 60lb premix bags at a time. I was also able to rent the Home Depot truck for free because I was buying an...

I have never used Chengs products but some are designed for precast and others for a cast in place. If anyone is going to attempt a cast in place down the road make sure to watch this video.

Well for starters I would have used hardiboard or some 1/4 cement board as your base instead of plywood. The plywood will absorb the water from the concrete mix during the cure period which will weaken the crete. You can also warp the wood because of it soaking up the bleed water. I would be...

What are you trying to accomplish? What is currently wrong with the slab?

Wood will be fine in a kitchen. I def. would not recommend Pergo or any of that laminate board stuff. Water will wreck that floor quickly and its not very durable. I put the stuff in a couple of my apartments and it does not take long to get beat up. It wont be an easy task to remove the tile...

For a one time thing I would def. recommend finding a stain supplier instead of trying to make your own. The R&D is already done so all you would have to do is find the color you are interested in. I have used Concrete Coating's acid stains before and I like them a lot. Butterfield Color and...

Are you going to pour in small batches? Do you have any sort of mixer? I checked and 16 cu ft is a lot for one pour if you dont have equipment. That is 24 80lb bags. Def. listen to the other advise about making sure your water does not freeze. I would also def. recommend a non chloride...

You need an attachment like this for a pressure washer.

I would not consider what you did to be terrazo. You have a Quartz floor. Its a similar idea as terrazo except instead of the large aggregate, quartz sand is used. You can also make it easier by laying your epoxy out and broadcasting the quartz sand to rejection.

Epoxy and Cementitious Terrazo are the same process using different binder materials. Both have to be ground and polished. They are really labor intensive.

Would have to agree with Legacy's recommendation because those are some monster cracks and gotta believe are all the way through. That is not what I was expecting when you said unlevel.

Do the entire length of the crack. It will just be visible on the apron and if you want you could get an overlay material for the entire apron and hide the repair.

Leave it alone. It doesnt sound like a terrible problem and one that is not seen. If it gets worse taking Legacy's advice is best. You will just have to get a crack chaser to make a V cut thru it.

Check out Butterfield Color. They are a big supplier of decorative concrete products. Also Kemiko is a good supplier of stains. If you are just looking to make the entire driveway more uniform going with a overlay would be best. Butterfield Color also has products to accomplish that. I used...

How high did you have to lift the trusses? How tall is the center post? I just started digging my holes for my Menards build. Its a 1 off engineered and designed by Midwest Manufacturing (Menards owns them).
