...the "right" stuff

what a difference the "right" sand can make...



see how this cement is setting up ?



the stuff yesterday..."slipped"...


[see how it sags ?]

like a dough made with the wrong kind of flour...
will never develop gluten...
too fine a sand doesn't make good cement...



this, on the other hand, sets up like it's supposed to...



the "wrong" stuff in the bucket...



the "right" stuff in the bucket...
see how much stiffer it is ?



and on the table, "wrong stuff"...



"right" stuff...


first thing this morning they finished the floor...



so now, everything is "closed" or covered...

the cement work on the shower walls & pan will continue...
R wants to get as much of the cement work done as possible...
as long as J2 is here to mix & carry it inside...
'cause when J2 leaves for another assignment...
R will be on his own...

when he gets all the cement work done...
R will put up the last strips of hardiebacker on the wall...

and then... TILE... !
