Tile Selection Made

We made or tile selection on Saturday :)

The feature tiles are bellow. The top scroll, scribble type design is a horizontal strip in the kitchen splash back. The black marble photo didn't really turn out as they are very mirrored and the brown look is a reflection of a desk behind me. It is used in the bathroom and the En-suite as a vertical stripe in the showers. both the floor and wall tiles to go around these are a sort of off white. I will upload a photo later *

Added our selection side bar

I have added our selections to the right hand side bar.

The Neighbours Metricon

The neighbours are building with Metricon too and they now have a slab and i have a new pile of dirt! lol.

My New Dirt Mound. Should charge them storage rent!

Cure Concrete Info

I have just been reading about how to Cure Concrete. I found an interesting article that explains the different ways to achieve better results. I wonder if Metricon will employ any of these techniques to help get the best out of our slab.
