Well today was a bit more laid back, but we still got quite a bit accomplished with the roof. We would have liked to have let the concrete dry longer before putting on the sealant, but since we are on such a tight schedule we didn’t really have much choice. It was totally dry on the surface, but I just don’t know how far water sinks into the concrete. We did our best and I think it will be fine.
Crossco 5500 going on
Finishing up
We still have another coat to put on in the morning before we head back to the airport, but this looks pretty much like the end result will look.
Of course once we finished a stray cat got up on the roof and pooped. Right on the nice clean white finished surface..lol.
Just having working drains will make a huge difference, but having the acrylic elastomeric coating should keep the cement from getting moisture, which means I can then paint the inside ceiling without having the paint peel. A project before a project!
The moss/alge on the roof that was there before we started looks to have gone up the sides pretty far. I think the roof was most likely a pretty nice pond after rain storms.
You probably know this, but just in case…. the second coat of Crosscoat must go on in the opposite direction. If the first coat was crosswise, then lengthwise.
Well it doesn’t say anything about it on the instructions so..no. lol
I think it will be ok because you can even use it in an airless sprayer.
Hey HI!
We’re back home too 🙁
We were out to dinner in Rincon with a friend the other night and he was telling us about a young couple that just moved down Anasco but they found a group of ex-pats who were all home schooling their kids together. If Matt and his family does move down I can get him some information. Also, this family who home schools rented for a while before buying. That might be a better option for them too. Hope you guys are well and I hope we get to meet Cassie soon! Linda
that was weird, only half of what I typed came out. The young couple moved to Rincon and had their 6 year old in the school in Anasco. They weren’t happy with it so they found Rincon parents homeschooling together. THAT is what my post should have said. AND I am detoxing from RUM so really.. it was my computers fault 😉
