Cracks in Concrete

Posted by Jen – August 29, 2008 10:06 AM

Now that we have lived in the house for 8 months, I'm starting to see signs of settling. I love my stamped concrete back patio, but I don't love the hairline crack that now runs the length of it that I'm sure was caused by settling. Has anyone run across this and is there a way to correct these cracks without effecting the stain and stamped concrete design?

Hi Jen
I think you need to call the company back to correct this for you - sadly this seems to be the problem with concrete. However, it does look gorgeous when it's finished properly. We at 4Homes in the UK are big fans of your build - we have a show on Channel 4 called Grand Designs, which is totally dedicated to self build (and massively popular in the UK, Canada and Australia), and we have loads of picture galleries and info about self building, decorating and furnishing a new home - which is why your project fascinates us. Keep up the good work and keep posting pictures - they're amazing to see!
