We have been at this basement remodel for a while now, and I have good news to report. It has been a very productive weekend. We rented an industrial grinder with a diamond grit head and sanded the cement floor down nice and smooth. It was a very messy job. I thought drywall dust was bad, but it had nothing on concrete dust.
Ryan is in there somewhere.
After the sanding we started staining the floor with a new product called acetone stain. You mix a powder substance with a gallon of acetone. It smelled just like fingernail polish remover. We applied it with a simple weed sprayer.
We let that dry for a day and then began to apply the sealer. We discussed this whole process with a few different people, but not one of them told us about the intense odor that came along with the sealer. We had to leave the house for about 6 hours. Thankfully Jill and Dustin took us in for the evening.
I must say it was all worth it. We love the finished product.

AWESOME!!! That looks so great! You should really be more careful posting stuff like this. People are going to be wanting favors... :)
I have always loved stained concrete. Now we know how to do it. That concrete dust looks yucky.
Wow! That's awesome, Heather! You have such a knack for (well everything really!) making things look fab! I'm hoping to snag some of your creativity, will, and gusto!
Yep, favors. You can favor to me by starting a do-it-Heather-style blog. I'm a fan already. =)
Thank you for sharing, with my best regards.
