    I'm not exactly sure why, but I your videos are so satisfying to watch. Maybe because I have seen so many concrete contractors do such a poor job that it is refreshing to see your attention to detail and awareness of how to prevent future problems by being so thorough. Thanks for putting these out!

      If they did it when it’s really hot they probably needed to keep the concrete wet for a proper cure. It can dry out too fast I. Warmer climates and not cure properly.

      @@QuIcK1423 how is Common materials used to manufacture cement that include limestone, shells, and chalk or marl combined with shale, clay, slate, blast furnace slag, silica sand, and iron ore. These ingredients, when heated at high temperatures form a rock-like substance that is ground into the fine powder that we commonly think of as cement contaminating the soil.

    You can use chamfer strips to curve your edges. You take a 2×4 and mark 3/4 on the 3 1/2 side. Put your worm drive/ skilsaw at a 45 degree angle. Cut all the way down the board. You will nail that at your grade level. Pop a line all the way down your form and then nail your chamfer strip on that line. It will give you a nice curve on your side edges of your sidewalk.

In other words, exiting back of house onto several feet of deck and then pad for patio. The pad slopes several inches upward over 20 ft. Additionally, any videos on measuring patio stairs? How best to measure out and install three stone (slab) stairs on left of patio (when facing away from house)? Many thanks!

    I feel like your concrete is really creamy which to me makes a better finish? What size aggregate do you normally use? Ours seems like it's to big to use some of the tools you use. We got a new jointer and it brought up to many big rocks and didn't go over so well....
