Klassen Concrete Blog - concept design factory…….and all things cool

Here’s a little proud parents, grandparents, wacky sister, uncle and tante - oh, and also -a little quality time with a 4 foot concrete ball.

what you are looking at here is Bison tenderloin- wrapped in bacon.  There’s some sort of sweet potato thingy, cauliflower, and some of the best fries I’ve ever eaten.  Okay, okay, double baked potatoes are better and makes a better presentation- however- I think potatoes suck.  The only way I can choke them down is to eat them as well done fries.  These dudes have it going on at the Bistro.  The waitress that hooked us up was serving a table of 30 teachers (that don’t get out much) and even they didn’t complain once.  Man, she was flying to help people and make everything cool.

I love this place.  Why am I talking about food?  Because these people got it going on.  5 out of 5 right here!

we busted out these samples for PCL trying to create and replicate ’shaggy’ concrete (note: look at the top of the verticle wall).  After a bit of head scratching, we came up with this.  Of course we have to thank Nathan Geffan of VERTICAL ARTISANS.COM  and Shelly Rigsby of DECORATIVECONSTUCTIONSUPPLY.COM  for all their help

thanks kids…

Lots of simple linear concrete with minimal landscape.  A cool limeplaster wall, and (lets not forget) giant red concrete balls- arrival TBA………..

We’re pretty pumped on this overlay finish we discovered this spring in Vancouver.  Who’d have thought throwing coloured sand would have such a killer affect?  Or is that effect…….never mind

10 years ago we poured the main driveway portion of this yard.  This year we were lucky enough to complete the job by adding on a mere 5400 square feet of side drive action.  Of course we pumped the sucker and stamped it out in less than 5.5 hours…….because we can…….
