Masonite Floor

The floor is stained now, with one coat of sealer:


Well, it LOOKS like masonite - it's really cement - it'll be darker. This is only about a half-hour after the first coat of sealer. The look is very uneven, like Mexican saltillo tiles, but a dark coffee color. In case you forgot, here's the concrete floor, before:



Here's a picture taken through the car's front window (carefully...), coming down into Questa. The property is out of view here, I think, but it would be almost in the center of this image (the tiny red arrow - click picture to see it BIG), in the foothills of the big mountain, hidden here by the ridge in Questa town.


Another view, from my parking lot, looking south, toward the hill seen in the above image on the right, below, on the left...


The big one in the background here is Flag Mountain, site of the Lama Founation and the huge fire of '97(?).

Finally, here's the old cistern (just a big cement tank, no pipes in or out), in danger of further deterioration because of a combination of wet and cold. I've been covering it with cardboard, but some water is soaking part of the concrete, turning the cover back into gravel in the hard frosts.
