We had a team that worked on Meri's house last week and they poured the floor. Here is a picture looking down on it (those are my feet)-- isn't that an amazing floor!! They pour the concrete floor and let it dry for about an hour. Then they 'float' it by rubbing the concrete with a trowel (?) that makes the water come up to the surface. They put a little more cement on top and smooth it out real smooth. Then they add a little more water by sprinkling with a sponge and put colored cement on (first light blue in this case), smoth that out, and then sprinkle on a darker colored cement (dark blue) and smooth it out ot make swirls. Dominicans can do crazy things using cement.
