It is pouring rain here in Wisconsin and I am really bummed out!!!! We just waterproofed two walls and we are still getting leaks!!!!
On the bright side I saw where it is leaking so we can apply the cement better. I really hate working with the stuff!!! My hands still feel rough from 4 days ago!!! Yuck,and I have been putting every lotion on imaginable!!!!! I guess I have to look at this from a better perspective,I didn't paint the floor yet so I don't have to worry about REPAINTING it again.Also I ran out of the paint for the walls so I didn't paint behind the washer and dryer yet and that is where the leaks are!!!!! It is always better to see the glass half full!!!!!

Prepping the walls
This has to be the most horrible messy job that we keep having to do!!!! We had to waterproof the walls and this cement is the worst to work with!!! We tore out some cabinets and found out there was moisture and the wall needed help. The wall is not close to being an even surface so that made it that much harder to deal with!!!! First mixing the cement is messy!! I had used an old mixer attachment to my drill and it actually worked great.But when we moved everything out of the cabinets it was put (stuffed) into a different room so we can't find anything.We ended up buying an industrial mixing attachment and it got the cement Everywhere!!! It was way to powerful and it almost burned out our drill. We haven't decided if we will do another coat yet or not. It is still drying so we will see.I snapped a few photos,here they are.....

Tweaking
I have been tweaking our basement/shampoo room.We had waterproofed a wall a while ago and I never repainted it.We needed to remove a step from the stairway to waterproof the last spot in that section.It was such a mess!!!!! So i bought more paint to redo the floor and the wall.We are having really hot weather here in Wisconsin. So I don't feel like doing much of anything!!!!!! I have to FORCE myself to start and finish today!!!! I just can't stand looking at it anymore!!!! Wish me luck!!!
