Help for homeowners in building with concrete.

Anyone can work successfully with masonry materials and have fun doing it. It's true that a good size job can involve considerable labor, but with good planning the job and the labor --can be stretched out over a period of time.

The flexibility of masonry materials adds considerably to the fun of working with them; you can be imaginative and creative. A concrete slab does not have to be a hot prairie playground; the surface is not limited to "smooth" or "rough"; the color is not limited to cement gray.

The truth about an amateur project is that the results can be every bit as good as a job done by a professional. Both in appearance and structurally, the job you do can rate A-l on the building inspector's card. There will be a difference in time due to the fact that the pro can work faster, but the amateur need not worry about speed, the end result is more important than the time needed to accomplish it.
