That's concrete work. Worked under many makeshift tents and lean-tos. If you not going to get a truck, you can add a little calcium chloride to the concrete to help it set. A ready mix truck during the mixing and traveling with the barrel spinning starts to activate the concrete, so it sets up better. Site mix concrete always "bleeds" water for a long time. Don't forget to hang poly to protect your walls and other finishes. Good job on the goats. Good luck Uncle Matty and Kristen.

Matt the standard for concrete ratio in the UK is 1-2-3 One part cement, 2 parts sand and 3 parts aggregate. Put these all in the mixer in shovel loads and then add the water for the right consistency. It looks like you are using way to much cement and it will cost you far more. Some of out buildings have stood for hundreds of years. It may look lighter but the chemical reaction is stronger. Love you guys and have bean watching your for years. Steve

Before doing anything else on the finish of the concrete, try doing an acid wash. Find a gallon of the highest concentration of muradic acid you can find locally and flood the pad with it. It will remove the top layer of creme and leave a really nice "sand finish". Scrub the surface with a broom and rinse with lots of water or neutralize with baking soda. It's one of my favorite finishes because it's easy and to do because you do it a day or two after the pour and the final look is a clean, contemporary look. Please us a respirator when using the acid because inhaling the fumes can cause serious damage to your lungs or death.

I have seen them mix aggregate (pea gravel) with clear epoxy and pour it as a walkway. Trowled smoothly, it let water soak through but held up to foot traffic. You could even drive small vehicles over it. You put down a layer of sand, then a base layer of gravel, and finally, a layer of the epoxy pea gravel about 2"-3" thick. Overall, it was about 6"-8" thick. They did this large scale at a major university, and it held up to some heavy foot traffic. For your application, mix aggregate (like your crushed rock between the road and your wall) with clear epoxy and trowel it out smooth over the concrete (it provides the structural base) about half-inch thick. You would probably want to do some test patches of the coating on concrete blocks, looking for the right amount of epoxy. And to see if you like the look of it. You only need enough to coat the rock, gluing them together, not submerge it in excess resin. That's just wasting resin and money. It would give the entry the look of the crushed rock but would be more permanent. Just another option.

You guys are doing great. Suggestions for pregnant animal mamas. When she is getting close to delivering, even a couple weeks before put down a good amount of straw or bedding especially if she is on a slick surface. Slick surfaces can cause the babies to have leg and hip issues, the mama won’t lay down to nurse her babies like a dog or cat does. They stand like a sheep, cow, horse, etc while nursing. I know putting down bedding has to be changed and cleaned out of the area but it really is safer for the babies legs. ❤❤. We enjoy GBU so much, you both are amazing and are doing such a great job on all of your do it yourselves projects!! Congratulations on your upcoming wedding and celebration ❤❤❤❤❤

Knowing how mischievious they were I just blurted out 'Heckle and Jeckle' and all agreed that suited them and it stuck!!!

Put the goats in charge of Landscaping! When doing a semi inclosed pour like that, I would slope it a little for water run off,,,also, an easy good look is to just sprinkle small stones on the concrete when it's wet, tamp them down with a screed,,,then before the mud is dry , spray it with a water hose to expose the stones evenly, It's a good outdoor look,

Great job to both of you. Everything was as it's supposed to be. Couldn't have been for the babies. You might want wiring for an outside light . I always put a 1.5 pice of PVC pipe under it and cover each end with tape. Then you can always feed wire through it at a later date. You did a fine job. You could also do a parkay floor or tile in front. I think of where i might want a light pole or something and dig the hole and order just a little extra concrete and then you'll always have enough and can set a new pole easier. Just an idea.

Tiles get VERY slippery when wet - and you guys get a LOT of rain there. If you take a brick and "sand" the concrete before it gets really cured you can make the surface pretty smooth. Use sand and water to lubricate the brick and to help with the abrasion. Then get some iron filings, wet the concrete down and sprinkle the iron filings over the concrete. That will stain the concrete and make it look more "earthy" and not just like a slab of grey concrete. Oh yes, don't give the roosters away, EAT THEM...

You can put a skim coat on it. Basically sand and Portland cement. Trowel it smooth brush it out. Depending on how green the concrete is you might need to etch it with muratic acid. Then brush a concrete bonding on the surface and mix some bonding agent into the cement, sand, water mix. Another option just re pore a 1”- 2” pea gravel concrete ready mix cap on top of it I’ve done both methods when original pour got away from us and set up to quickly. Years later driving by different jobs still looked good.
