SOLD OUT: This Old Castle: Concrete Fundamentals for Homes
Old home ownership is not for the faint of heart (trust us, we know!), but we're here to help!
We've teamed up with our friends at History Nebraska to bring you a series designed to demystify maintaining and preserving your old home or building. We're calling it This Old Castle, and you're invited to learn alongside us from the best experts in town.
For the December installment of This Old Castle, we welcome John Brennan and Jonathan Krainak, board members with Preserve Omaha, to lead their This Old Castle presentation titled, "Concrete Fundamentals for Homes." We'll explore the history of concrete from its discovery to modern day, as well as cover the fundamental characteristics. They will guide us step-by-step through a successful small scale concrete placement and help us identify factors leading to concrete failure and how to avoid them.
