" Get started this morning with Don Humphrey concrete and spray decks -- we're talking here right now at this hour at cool deck application what have you already sprayed on here well we were already taken a blower and broom and we brushed. Hold decking icing claimed yet since we just poured it two days ago it's ready to go and we sprayed a bonding agent plus this materials got a bonding agent and -- so what it does is it actually makes a lot. Safer for us know -- gonna chip back off later. Got -- and you know how to work so this is cement and polymer mix that you're spraying on right and you'll be putting it obviously on all the flat surfaces around the pool which are also doing this cantilever. Yep OK so knockdown trial finishes what they call it was sprayed on us as we sprayed on the gloss leaves as soon as -- gloss leaves she's going to take -- piece of plastic yeah. He's gonna wipe it out real quick no we start to deck we're gonna use a trial we're gonna wipe it down. And they can't cool deck is there really is reflective and it really does tend to stay pretty cool underfoot in the hot Florida sunshine but anyway. That's what you get started OK first thing that's."
" Let's turn gnawing you to. Fit the pattern going a little bit yeah she's just -- so I don't spray walls or anything else all right. -- Emotion. So the second step is some real fast trowel work. Yes he could not get a gallon the trowel that I. -- how easy does it Jason easy does it I don't want to smeared no bigger than a fifty cent -- did. You. I'm lightly. Cruise across it lightly. Some people like bigger spray -- people like hello what's right. But -- there in the finished thickness of it is just meant to be about 161616. No more than that actually what -- going to. Get yourself a Stucco look yes but not -- heart goes without ruffling his feet right it's basically all others. I'd try to advance warning him about eight feet feeling. Awful."
" All right so everything has been trials down flat and we've taken a blower and cleaned everything -- what more time scratched everything off so there's numbers on your deck yeah and what we're going to run do this bullnose twice so once a new Marcel in the -- we went to backing here paint -- one more time all right Toobin two coats what kind of finish is this will. It's an acrylic dusting. Is that you're actually going to be actually look at the color here almost a color your taxes yet. Very nice all right go ahead we'll watch. All right they'll start to roll and I'll start to paint I'll get around here twice as fast as he will path. Go for -- You on their own way Jason and it. You know me himself -- I always this -- You just gotta make sure when you put this on you fill in every little cavity and every little hole -- back -- here the next time have to do -- because -- in here. And you drip paint in the bottom of the pool yeah. Makes campaign clean and out insurance. Now tell me don't tell -- about what we've got going here done this is the deck O drain which is for your water which comes off the poor will drain right down and there he got a quarter inch per foot fall. From this deck to that deck -- drain."
" So you've pitched the the concrete a quarter inch per foot per running foot yep so that would mean that from there -- there is three feet should be about three quarters quarters of fish fish and water that splashes out of the pool or kids or people getting out -- feet. It's all going to collect here exactly and then Enron's opt to how dolls both ends threat to run on both ends of -- your deck yeah and that's important his. From the point of view of keeping the pool clean."
" chemicals of any kind of dirt getting in here that means they got to come in here. And fix their water all right time right so they object is keep as much of this is dirty water sure even Rainwater even Rainwater you Rainwater. You try to keep as much of that out what you know last kind of impossible to do your but the -- pretty much carry quite a bit of water down the sides of all right so it keeps a lot of it out. Would just fly through here and put two good coats on this real quick to put one good coat on it. Leave a separate three or four hours you can walk on the deck just don't put nothing -- the chicken scratch it like sliding a chair I'm glad I guess."
" It's still pretty fresh and."
" So Don what kind of maintenance you have to do on on this kind of finish well what I'd suggest is you know being -- apart you got a bunch of kids here. Object is chlorine will dry like saltwater and turn what. Show I was -- deck down each time I was done out of the -- just with a regular hose and water regular hose and water would be just fine. Then later in time you know as the years go by -- this section last you. Maybe ten years yet -- ten years the deck the color of the deck it will fade like any other color. It's paint. I think every three to five years you repaint it again you repaint it repainting -- as far as the deck mix itself. It shouldn't come off the deck as long as you don't land a pressure washer on anything to scratch it it'll last forever. That's a good good tip don't use a pressure washer don't use a pressure washer on it no water hoses all you need and we have to get motor mildew. A light form of bleach. Works just fine a mild bleach solution mild bleach it'll kill it. All right so this is oyster graded. Color choice is that it. Now we're gonna come back on the second coat after they put your string gauge yep OK and they stretched decorating thing in thirty yeah -- about one more time. So I'll be all done -- sand will be blowing through exactly then we'll finish -- the last go all right and that'll -- it thanks down looks beautiful."
