Carving tools, such as knives, scrapers, and hammers, that are typically used for ceramic sculpting work best to carve concrete. You can find these tools at most craft or art shops. Freehand or stencil your desired design onto the concrete with a pencil or chalk. This will give you a guide to work off of. Using the directions on the bag of concrete, mix the concrete in a large bucket or wheelbarrow. Most 80 pound (36 kg) bags of concrete require three quarts (2.8 liters) of water. Pour the concrete into the desired concrete mold and allow it to partially dry before beginning the carving. Pour the concrete in small, workable sections to prevent the concrete from drying before you finish the sculpting. Concrete that is too runny is easier to pour but less durable and more likely to break over time. Add more water to your concrete mixture if the mixture is solid and crumbly. The amount of time that you need to wait will depend on the thickness of the concrete mold. The concrete is ready to carve when it is still malleable and holds it's shape. Before the concrete is completely dry, begin to carve out your design using the sculpting tools. Begin at the top of the sculpture and work your way down. You will have to work quickly in order to finish the carving before the concrete dries. Try to finish a section of concrete within one hour of pouring. Coat your hands in petroleum jelly to prevent the concrete from damaging your skin. Avoid touching the surface of the sculpture until it is completely dry to prevent any smudging. The concrete should be dry within 24 hours but should be left to cure for seven days.

Summary: Locate carving tools. Lay out your design. Mix and pour the concrete. Carve the design.

It's best to talk to your doctor if you suspect you're snoring. Some underlying health conditions can cause snoring, such as sleep apnea, which is a serious condition linked to other health complications such as high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and depression. If you notice the following symptoms, make an appointment to discuss them with your doctor. Excessive sleepiness. Headaches after waking. Difficulty concentrating during the day. Sore throat in the morning. Restlessness. Waking up at night due to gasping or choking. High blood pressure readings. Chest pain at night. Being told you snore. An X-ray, CT-scan, or MRI will let your doctor check your sinus passages and airways for issues, such as narrowness or a deviated septum. This allows the doctor to eliminate possible causes so that they can recommend the right treatment options. These tests are noninvasive and painless. However, you may experience some discomfort from staying still for a period of time. Most patients will get better after making lifestyle changes and visiting their doctor. However, sometimes the underlying issue is more complicated. For example, you may have sleep apnea a condition where you stop breathing for a short period of time before naturally recovering. Your doctor may recommend a sleep study to find out what is causing your snoring. A sleep study is very easy for the patient. Your doctor will schedule an appointment at a sleep study clinic, where you'll sleep normally in an office that resembles a hotel room. You'll be hooked up to a machine that causes no pain and minimal discomfort. An expert in another room will then monitor your sleeping to produce a report for your doctor. You may be able to do an at-home sleep study. Your doctor will give you a device to wear while you sleep, which will record your sleep information for later analysis. Sleep apnea is a serious condition that requires medical treatment for a good outcome. This not only disrupts sleep, it's also associated with other life-threatening conditions. Your doctor will likely prescribe a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine to help you breathe better at night. It's important to use your CPAP machine every night and to follow all of your doctor's instructions. Clean your CPAP machine properly. Clean your mask daily, and your tubing and water chamber once a week. Using your CPAP machine can help you breathe easier, snore less, and sleep better as you work on controlling and ultimately eliminating your sleep apnea. In many cases, you will not need a CPAP for life. Talk to a respiratory therapist for more information regarding starting and stopping CPAP use. In rare cases, surgery is necessary to treat the causes of snoring. Your doctor will discuss this option if they think it's best for you. The doctor may perform a tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy to remove the obstruction causing your snoring, such as inflamed tonsils or adenoids. If you have sleep apnea, the doctor might tighten or reduce your soft palate or uvula. A doctor may also tighten the frenum of your tongue or reduce the size of it to help your air flow more freely through your airways if they find that your tongue contributes to airflow obstruction.

Summary: Talk to your doctor to rule out underlying medical conditions. Allow your doctor to conduct an imaging test. Undergo a sleep study if your symptoms continue after other treatments. Use a CPAP machine if you have sleep apnea. Consider surgery if no other treatment options work.
