Sunday was our first casting day, Sharon, Phillip, David, and I where there and in truth four was a good number for casting concrete, not too few and not too many.
Aggregate: Cat Litter (Tidy Cats brand)
Mortar Mix (1/2 a bag)
As for molds we just did a couple of tests from what Sharon had found at Target and what Stoel had brought for us to get a feel with. One bowl, two square bowls from Walgreens, two Chip n' Dip bowls, a cake top, and other various objects. The pouring went relatively well and we tried three different types of mixes, one with more water added then the other to test which would be stronger. As of today the cement had not yet cured enough to break from the mold, we hope to see the results tomorrow so we can make final adjustments to the molds and get to finishing the project.
Aggregates to Try: Sawdust and/or Perlite
Drawings to work on:
+1 plan/cut view of our casted object for the project.
+ 1 scale drawing of our parking island.
+ 1 scale view of entire lot.
+ Various other drawings.
Mmmmm..... Yum, concrete with a hint of cat litter. ;)
