Well the patio didn't get poured on schedule (NO....Really???) Just a day late though.
This kid had quite a challenge ahead of him...the concrete truck backed up to the front porch, he laid down plastic & had to wheel barrel each load, dump about 3 in the site, take off his sneaks, put on his boots & spread the concrete. Repeat the process & then smooth what had been spread, float it, then brush finish. Repeat-I don't know-5 or 6 times....; unfortunately it was quite warm-90 or so- the pour got away from him & it's not quite as smooth or as level as the front porch.
At the end of the pour, he asks Tom for a check... "James"-Tom says-"would you really be happy with this patio on your brand new home"?
Should never have been a one man job in that heat. So..he'll be back with a grinder to smooth the finish off before , of course, he gets his check.
But I'll tell you, it sure it nicer than walking thru the dirt & stones to get in the house.
