This the 9th episode (and the 3rd video episode) of the Hacking Concrete podcast.

In this episode we talk about how we installed 12k square feet of metallic epoxy. This was one of the most difficult (and fun) projects we've ever taken on, and it was fun to sit down and talk about it now that it's over.

Thanks for letting us use the lizard clip, Neco.
