  Those footings are finished better than my sidewalk from the city.

  The remark about anxiety arriving with that first load of concrete is spot on .From that point all your planning (or lack thereof) will be quite literally set in stone. All members of the crew have to know their parts in this strange dance and be able to improvise when weather or other circumstances add complications, because the concrete has its own timetable. Great video.

  The &quot;trades&quot; are what builds the world and they should always be treated with respect. I always pay the &quot;little extra&quot; in cash to each helper.

  Hi,<br><br><br>For your next Q&amp;A, I would love to hear about a time you were &quot;screwed over&quot; or when a contractor or company tried to take advantage of you and your team. &nbsp;I think it would be a great lesson to the young guns out there to explain how you (probably, based on what I&apos;ve seen of your personality) remained calm, kept a level head, and approached the situation. &nbsp;Also, knowing when to cut your losses and the stress of dealing with a swindler/braggart isn&apos;t worth it.<br><br><br>Best,<br>Tim

  One of my first experiences with concrete was pouring close to 5 yards from the truck All By Myself, all wheelbarrowed for a long walkway on a 98 degree day.<br>It was a base to be brick mortared over, so it didn&apos;t have to be finished. Thank Gawd😂.... when I finished the concrete truck guy said, &quot;Man, You Look Like You&apos;re Gonna DIE.&quot;😂

  Never saw so much care applied to the footings before, they&apos;re smoothing it out like its the garage floor! 👍
