Oiling the concrete

Grant sealed the concrete with one coat of Livos Linus to prime the floor and then two coats of Livos Kunos.

It is not a perfect finish, not by a long shot but hey..it's rugged and it looks like it has been around for many years, with a worn, aged appeal.  Footprint stains in the concrete are just an added bonus!

The coat was put on and then left for half an hour before wiping
off the excess.

There is more than one footprint - we suspect they were done a while ago.
Grant tried to grind it down, however was unable to.
The floor does have a very warm and fluid feel, almost like a river bed. That's us figuring
out sofa arrangements.
Grant made the entertainment table. We are just waiting on the cabinetry to fill in the unit.
