Yesterday I "painted" the master bedroom lanai and exterior landing and step with a solution of iron sulfate! I am pleased at the outcome. There are a few tricks we learned in the process that should make it easier for the next projects! The carport, the second lanai and the courtyard side walks! The best news of all is that it is inexpensive! Acid stain is about $70 a gallon compared to $5 for the iron sulfate which you then mix with 1 gallon of good old H2O!

| Stained and sealed! |

Stained - not sealed
Almost done - waiting for more sealer to arrive! |

| All done! Not too bad! |
We are seeing some white come to the surface on the concrete that was most exposed to the rain. In that area the concrete aggregate is exposed. So some of the salts may be leeching to the surface. we are hoping that the concrete still has moisture and the sealer is showing white until it dies completely??!!??
