<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4 face="Bradley Hand ITC">I built a ferrocement tub
surrounded by natural rock and stone but I ended up with a few fine
cracks. I was thinking of a colorful or art finish to brighten up things a
bit and seal up the concrete and the cracks. </FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4 face="Bradley Hand ITC">A few details of the room
are that the tub is in my straw bale addition that is to be our master
suite. It is framed with salvaged timbers used as-is and scribed joinery
with all mortise and tenon construction. I built all the windows and
doors, used salvaged 2 by 12's for a rustic wide plank floor. The bath
area floor is a polished concrete with PEX tubes for radiant heat. A
natural rock knee wall separates the stall shower from the tub area. The
tub is in a corner with windows facing the river and woods. The only thing
I have not really figured out to complete the room are the small fine cracks in
the tub. </FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4 face="Bradley Hand ITC">Anyone have any
suggestions? </FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4 face="Bradley Hand ITC">Oh, the other thing is that
the flickers (woodpeckers) love to go through my earth plaster during the spring
nesting and mating seasons. I am working on that one,
too.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
