Cracks in concrete water tanks
2008-07-21 05:30:00 Hello, Can anyone advise if painting a concrete water tank (45,000l) will casue it to crack and leak. I live on rural property in Australia and painted a portion of the side of a concrete tank with a dark green acrylic paint. Very fine cracks have appeared in 2 or 3 spots which are now very s
Joy in Detroit: Concrete and Cars
2008-07-21 00:01:00 When Henry Joy brought Packard to Detroit, by hiring Albert Kahn he also ended up ushering in a new era in industrial architecture, especially for the automotive sector.

Friday Flash...Another Concrete Mt Fuji
2008-07-03 23:26:00 Another example of a concrete Mount Fuji in a local park.This one doesnt look that safe or maintained compared to the other example I posted last week.The paint on this one has faded and in places bare concrete can be seen.The surface is very smooth and provides little grip or traction when attempting to climb it.If you look closely you can see several large cracks and fissures that run down the sides and near the top of the structure.As with the earlier example,one side has stones embedded in it.Due to the rain and wet weather,climbing up this side of the structure presents a tricky proposition unless you are sure footed.

Friday Flash..Concrete Mount Fuji
2008-06-27 01:13:00 Ive only recently noticed how frequently these concrete Mount Fuji structures appear in small local parks.The slopes are quite steep and difficult to climb.Some have rocks embedded into them and dont appear to be that child friendly should you lose your grip and fall.Often painted in garish hues they add a splash of colour to what is often a desolate grassless area frequented by crows and homeless people.

Concrete Art by Transparent House
2008-06-06 10:00:00 Transparent House created a way to refine a popular element of contemporary interior design such as polished concrete flooring. The design concept allows for application of any pattern to the surface either when pouring or afterwards when the concrete has set. The fine floral ornament promotes the clean and simple character of the space while adding a touch of warm and live contrast and highlighting the cold austerity of the material.

More Concrete for Wisconsin Highways is NOT the Answer
2008-06-05 03:23:00 James Rowen, at The Political Environment, has written elegantly about the inappropriate policies that we are pursuing for our regional transporation systems in Wisconsin:"Politicians, Planners And Lobbyists Choose Highways Over Rail""Thinking Globally, Forgetting Locally"In his second post, Rowen says:"Southeastern Wisconsin needs more transit, and it needs cleaner air, too - - twin goals, both worthy and linked."We're constantly told that highway expansion is the key to economic development, when, in fact, rail lines stimulate economic growth, too, from housing to retail to the long-term, well-paying jobs that keep the trains running and serviced."Smog, unhealthy air and non-existent transit systems, on the other hand, are economic turnoffs - - for potential tourists, business relocations, incoming students and all the people who already live and work here."Climate change is a tremendously complex set of issues, and certainly difficult to effect globally from one medium-sized cit...

Yanks remove Red Sox jersey from stadium concrete
2008-04-14 18:12:00 A construction worker's bid to curse the New York Yankees by planting a Boston Red Sox jersey in their new stadium was foiled when the home team removed the offending shirt from its burial spot. After locating the shirt in a service corridor behind what will be a restaurant in the new Yankee Stadium, construction workers jackhammered through the concrete Sunday and pulled it out. The team said it learned that a Red Sox-rooting construction worker had buried a shirt in the new Bronx stadium, which will open next year across the street from the current ballpark, from a report in the New York Post on Friday.Yankees president Randy Levine said team officials at first considered leaving the shirt where it was."The first thought was, you know, it's never a good thing to be buried in cement when you're in New York," Levine said. "But then we decided, why reward somebody who had really bad motives and was trying to do a really bad thing?"

He finally got to his work station and found a new email waiting for him. A friend of his was wanting to know some tips on how to maintain a forum. Martin checked out his friends site real quick to find it was running a vBulletin forum and did a quick search at Web Articles, a site he used frequently for its simplicity of use and lack of distractions from the articles on the site, and found a very helpful listing of articles on vBulletin forums and emailed the link to his friend. No use writing down what someone else had already written. Maybe now he could get some work done. Another email appeared in his inbox. Martin sighed. It looked like some goofy junk mail.

Practicality of Concrete
2008-04-06 21:22:00 The floor shown on the left was my inspiration color.In the last showroom I designed, I used the concrete slab as the finished floor. We didn't have a big budget for wood or stone tile floors, so we thought we would work with what we had, concrete. Even then, we found out that concrete could be expensive if you go the route of an overlay, a stamped pattern or a highly polished mirrored like finish. We went for economical route by resurfacing and adding a stain to the existing surface.We received so many complements on the floor that I laugh when I remember the trauma involved.Everyone who stopped in wanted to know how we achieved that color. It was an acid wash base of terra cotta and verdigris and it turned out fabulous. But fabulous is never easy.We wound up doing it ourselves, or rather our GC was brought in to fix it. It was a lot of trial and error. At first, we got 2-3 quotes from different concrete sub contractors to do the work. I was ready to hire one company who's refere...
