I've got pets, or to be more exact, Tigger has pets and they like to make thier mark on the carpet. I can't stand the smell, not to mention the look. I'm tired of replacing carpet and getting rid of the pets isn't exactly an acceptable avenue for Tigger so I'm looking into staining the concrete in my living room, halls, bathroom & kitchen. Problem is that I have some "blemishes" in the concrete from the tack boards as well a nice little crack. Top it off, the cement has this black stuff they used at one time to glue tile down and this stuff won't come up with kerosene & hand grenades. On to the next phase...
Seems as I need to sand, or to be more precise, grind the concrete to get it into shape for staining. Not too many people around these parts are knowledgable in this field so I'm kind of on my own. When the going gets tuff, time to post on DRN.
Anyone have any experience surfacing concrete that can recommend what type of equipment is best to clean up my current cement floor condition?
How about scoring?
Recomendations on what type / brand of stain and sealer?
