Uniform texture for cast in place walls

Abstract

A method of forming a concrete wall having a substantially uniform exterior surface texture. The method includes the initial step of pouring concrete into a wall form. The concrete is poured from a first mixture and is allowed to cure. After the concrete is cured, the wall form is removed from the resultant concrete base structure. A roughened texture is then created on the base structure. A finishing mixture is then applied to the roughened texture. The finishing mixture may be created by separating the aggregate from a portion of the remaining first mixture. The finishing mixture creates a smooth texture on the exterior surfaces of the initially formed base structure.

1 - 20 . (canceled) 
     
     
         21 . A method of forming a concrete structure having a substantially uniform exterior surface texture, comprising the steps of:
 (a) curing a first mixture of concrete including large aggregate to form a concrete base structure;   (b) creating a finishing mixture by separating the large aggregate from a portion of a second concrete mixture; and   (c) applying the finishing mixture to the base structure.   
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 21  wherein step (a) comprises initially pouring the first mixture of concrete into a wall form. 
     
     
         22 . The method of  claim 21  wherein step (a) further comprises creating a roughened exterior surface on the base structure.
