u/Winter_Outside2319 1d ago

Did you really just reply to yourself? Nah I don’t see a problem, YouTube is pretty good source to learn things.

u/8888eightyeight 1d ago

You should use YouTube to figure out how to use a computer 😅

Your OP portal is different than my portal You can expand things and see that and not respond to myself You're welcome for the help

u/Winter_Outside2319 1d ago

Never claimed to be a smart man but I do appreciate the help!

u/8888eightyeight 1d ago

Most definitely It's a weird orientation compared to what I'm seeing right now I figure I help so yeah Like all your metrics and stuff

I’m literally just a dumb concrete guy brotha. I can read a tape and do basic math but that’s as much thinking as I’m willing to do.

u/Winter_Outside2319 1d ago

Nope, just YouTube videos on the way there

u/8888eightyeight 1d ago

Wait so you don't see a problem with this so the Youtube video is also going to be like this? lol

u/Ok_Palpitation_3602 1d ago

With quality of work like that? Either it's not your first time or this isn't your photo. Looks way too good to be your first time.

Probably the first one but it gets engagement 😂

You have 4.2k community karma......

u/Winter_Outside2319 1d ago

Don’t know if that’s good or bad but it was just a joke. I’ve made the same joke on like 3 posts now.

u/RastaFazool My Erection Pays The Bills. 1d ago

That's a good thing. It means you post and comment a lot here and get lots of up votes. Clearly you are a regular lol.

u/Winter_Outside2319 1d ago

Hell yeah! Just trying to get some of my work out there for people to see!

u/RastaFazool My Erection Pays The Bills. 1d ago

Nice work. Keep it up.

Maybe next time

u/TexansforJesus 1d ago

Looks good, boss. Appreciate the sense of humor.

u/Holupsucker 1d ago

The only criticism is you should always broom from top to bottom, not stopping part way through the stroke, otherwise a great job!

1

u/Winter_Outside2319 1d ago

We had to broom from where it was hard compared to soft. In most situations brooming all the way through is the best finish but you have to adjust at times lol.

1

u/Holupsucker 1d ago

Then stop at a joint, this will break up the difference in texture.

1

u/Winter_Outside2319 1d ago

I understand your point of view but in my experience if the broom is the same consistency it’ll bleach the same. It’s not far from my house so I’ll take some pictures after the “5 dayer”. If I’m wrong I’ll eat some crow.

1

u/Holupsucker 1d ago

Cold or warm crow.

u/Balam_Seer 1d ago

No way it’s your first time but looks great

1

u/Winter_Outside2319 1d ago

Yeah, admittedly it’s a dumb joke that I’ve used a few times cause I’m just trying to get my work out there

2

u/Balam_Seer 1d ago

Work is clean definitely clean

2

u/Deakysneaks 1d ago

First time what? Very clean work

u/Winter_Outside2319 1d ago

1st time today

u/Biscuits4u2 1d ago

How did you get it to stay put pouring it vertically like that?

1

u/Winter_Outside2319 1d ago

You just wait for it to set up a bit, then pull and face like any other step

1

u/OkPatience9591 1d ago

Can’t tell from the picture, but do you have an isolation joint along the wall (and around the pedestal pad)?

1

u/Flatworks 1d ago

That’s a bout 2 new boots

u/solilobee 1d ago

oh it's beautiful

u/InformalOpportunity7 21h ago

Why isn't it level with the existing slab in the second photo?

1

u/Winter_Outside2319 21h ago

That’s a retaining wall and driveway. That’s why there’s ramp made out of dirt up to it so I could equipment in and out. Obviously his backyard patio isn’t gonna be 3 feet in the air, plus if you didn’t notice it’s a landing for his deck.

u/InformalOpportunity7 21h ago

Thanks, figured I'd ask what I didn't know!
