You've Found Your DIY Concrete Mentor... I Will Help You to Build Awesomely with Concrete!
Nice... the rhythmic sound of my jackhammer soothes my soul.
I live and breathe concrete construction. I am here to help you construct your own marvels with our greatest building material.
I know that when we build something, we must build it right and get the job done safely. I have created this site to share what I have learned.
Why choose me as your DIY mentor?
For the original & competent content published here for you... no bootlegging techniques or incomplete instructions... just high quality "how to" advice kept simple- this will help you to build correctly, efficiently and cost-effectively.
My professional experience is in engineering & construction project management. I have performed on nuclear and oil & gas mega-projects, as well as commercial building projects. I have paid attention and learned many lessons over the years. My lessons learned will help you get out of the stickiest of DIY situations. Just because you have chosen to do it yourself does not mean that you must go it alone.
I have also spent many years in the field doing the "hands on" difficult work- a desk jockey I am not. I have participated in projects of all scales and in varying roles. The diversity of my background will allow me to pass on much constructability knowledge to you so that you will, again, construct correctly, efficiently, and cost-effectively.
Ready to get to work?... great! My content will be a great and on-going resource for you!
The first lesson is the most important one:
Think safety first... Practice safety always.
