concrete wall or structure

18 years ago

Greetings! I turn the big "50" late June and am hoping to do a family fun activity mosaic concrete. For my 40Th we did stepping stones (cit 50 cardboard tubes, placed in pizza boxes and everyone brought items (old jewelry, some coins, rocks, tiles etc). Everyone really got into it. This time I want to do a concrete structure well before the party and then have people (using thin-set, marbles, tiles etc) and mosaic the structure. Next day I will grout it and then will seal it- I want it an all age activity and will have it in my grandchildren play area. So I have tossed around ideas of benches- or animal shape- they can climb/sit on/jump off....and then decided perhaps a wall instead. I was thinking about 3 length by 2.5 feet high by 8" or so wide. I need to figure out the best way to "form" it...making sure it is sturdy and can't be pushed over. Also how much cement I will need so I know my costs of project. My husband is a very handy guy so with his brains and bronze I should be able to do this. Just need some ideas from some experienced folks on how we should do this! Also very interested in similar projects or suggestions that may include different forms/shapes. Thanks! Leanne
