Nice video. A few suggestions:<br>* (3,4,5) triangle is too small given the large sides you have. Consider using other larger Pythagoras dimensions like (5, 12, 13) or (8, 15, 17) to be extra sure the corner is 90 degrees. If you used these larger dimensions you would have caught those 2x4 that were not straight.<br><br>* Another tip is measure the length of the diagonals (opposite corners). The two diagonals should be the same length if all corners are 90 degrees<br><br>* (BONUS MARK) If you did everything correctly then: diagonal x diagonal is equal to length x length + width x width (D*D = L*L + W*W)

Mixer driver here. Never leave or let concrete set onto your skin. It’ll chemical burn you. a lot of older guys in the industry have some crazy looking hands because they would handle the concrete with no gloves on.

All I can think of while watching this is, “can I get my mower deck between the new slab and the fence?”

As a concrete professional, I think you did a really good job for a do it yourselfer. And by the way, a lot of guys, including myself, come back a day or two later to cut the Expansion Joints in
