  On many skid steers, there&apos;s an additional switch in the cab for the extra hydraulics (so you can operate stationary appliances like log splitters). It might simply be off, or in the master position.<br>Needs to be in slave position so the switch on your joystick is the master aux hydraulic controller.<br>Always clean and lube the quick hydraulic connections. Every single time.<br><br>Great vid. Only discovered your channel last week. 👍🏻🇬🇧

  As a retired plumber I would have sleeved the water lines where they go through the concrete, &nbsp;with no smaller than 3 inch pvc pipe so if they ever need to be replaced

  Great job Meg. Next time you pour a slap, remember your forms are gonna be your finished edges. If you wrap your plastic up your form, make sure it’s perfectly smooth or your finished edge will take the form of every crease and fold. Keep up the great work.

  You guys didn’t need to drive those stakes in so deep. &nbsp;12 to 18” is plenty.

  Next time tap on your forms with a hammer before you remove them and you won’t break the edges off. &nbsp;Plus an edger would help. &nbsp;You can even tap on the edge of the forms when you poor it to help the concrete settle up to the forms and not leave so many air pockets. &nbsp;I sometimes see guys take their mag and saw straight down an inch and a half away from the form into the concrete while they are pouring it and screeding it to help make sure the concrete gets right up to the edge. &nbsp;The easiest would be a concrete vibrator, but they can also push concrete out the bottom of your forms so might be an overkill for your app.

  You realize that the concrete is nowhere near the ground and it’s gonna just sit on that fold and as it Styrofoam deteriorate over years, the slab is gonna fall. You should’ve made the forms wider and pull over the edge of it.

  Expansion joint around your pipes or boxed out. I know all comments are after it&apos;s done but just my two cents. Your work ethics are amazing.
