how to make an atlas stone for cheap part 3 of 3
I really wanted an atlas stone but money is tight right now so I thought up a very cheap way to make one. I went to wall mart and purchased a big rubber “marble” ball..you know the ones in the bin..and I also got a basket ball pump..the ball was 2.50 and the pump was 4. when I got home I went in the backyard and dug a whole about 30″s deep. I pumped the ball up to my desired size..I was a little nervous the ball was gonna burst but suprisingly it got pretty big…anyways I placed the ball in the whole and packed dirt around it, dousing the dirt with my water hose and occasionally stomping the dirt. I completely covered the ball with dirt, and went about 5″s above the ball with dirt. remembberin where the center of the ball was, I used my hand and dug a round whole back down to the surface of the ball so I would have access to the valve( remember valve side up) and also it would give me a place to poor in the concrete. the next day I put the needle part of the pump in the ball and it slowly released the air. then when I could see the ball deflated away from the surrounding dirt, I stabbed it with a knife and the ball turned into a wrinkled piece of rubber which made it easy to pull out. I then mixed up about 5 40 lbs bags of portland cement in a wheel barrow and shoveled it into a 5 gallon bucket which I would carry over to the hole and pour in carefully. your suppose to let the concrete sit for about 3 days to cure but I waited about 6 hours and dug the sucker up…it was hard as a rock…I wont drop it on a solid surface for about another week or so, but it is definitely hard enough to drop on grass without an issue. plus at this early stage it makes it easy to scrape off any abnormalities with the claw end of a hammer. oh yeah and when you pour the concrete in the hole, take a board..I used a 2×6 to lay across solid ground near your whole so you can stand on the board without putting your bodyweight on the soil where a giant whole awaits to cave in on it self. mine came out pretty good, now just gotta put some Concrete Sealer on it and it will be ready to go!!

How To Prepare a Concrete Floor For Tile Installtion
Armen Tavy explains how using a Concrete Sealer will improve results when you are dealing with a ‘less than perfect’ substrate. This particular concrete floor was extremely porous. Sealing the concrete ensured a better coverage with the Thin Skin adhesive. Thin Skin was used in this installation for crack suppression. A few hairline cracks were present in the concrete subfloor and they will not affect the tile installation with the combination of Thin Skin and the 007 and or 008 adhesive. Covered by a 15 year warranty. Learn more and see where to buy Thin Skin at http://www.tavytools.com
