Are we there yet?
I got a lot of positive response from the time lapse of MC’s bowl pour, and one suggestion to bring it up to date with some actual skating. Well kids, the skating inside the bowl has been put on hold now that the tile is in mid process. Actually, the coping has go on before the wheels can hit the crete again. MC doesn’t want to risk cracking the top layer of tiles. I snapped some pics of the tile job last night.
It turns out that adding tile to an existing bowl takes a lot of extra work if you don’t plan for it in the initial pour. I’ve seen some concrete forms (online) that have the area for the recessed tile built in to the form. MC’s bowl required scoring the tile with a diamond concrete cutting blade and then chipping out the the recessed area with a cold chisel.
You taking photo’s this is not going to go over well with Ritch.
cutting concrete=not fun
Funny that he’s wearing the pier park shirt with tile on it. Coincidence?
Yeah, coincidence, but that’s why I made a point of getting the tile on his t-shirt in the shot too.
Nice work. Must have taken a while. Those tiles will definitely not be coming off of there.
looks rad
Shits no joke! Cant wait to skate it. Lookin good.
