Are you going on the next cruise? http://www.decorativeconcretecruise.com/

But since my economy sucks and most people dont know about vertical concrete i am slow with that work. I also do remodeling which is how i make my living. I hope to be able to do concrete full time in the future. If i do well this year though i hope to make it. Sorry for rambling. Eric
