[Greenbuilding] Concrete Stain-radiant barrier

Here's a few shots...I only applied one layer of the sealer, and although I wanted a satin finish, I think it would look even better waxed.

I also included a picture of phase one of the radiant barrier/conditioned attic space in my house.  After the first layer of radiant barrier went in, we installed another layer of the radiant barrier that is perforated an inch to and inch and a half off of the decking surface creating the required air space and then added scrim and blew in cellulous insulation through out the rafters and gable side walls...it's made a huge difference in our a/c bills which is most of our energy use in New Orleans...I have to find and share installation images of the rest of the project...it was laborious but the right way to do it for our climate.

Happy JazzFest,
-Dan
