awesome vids !! did they pour you an apron ?

[rvr2]

@100Burrtec100 Thanks!

Nope, just as is. Still looks good to this day.

[poonhelm]

why would they add water to the surface?

[rvr2]

@poonhelm To help cure the surface so it doesn't solidify too quickly causing surface cracks.

thanks for the video. appreciate it.

in australia we generally use steel reinforcing mesh. you dont have to use that?

[rvr2]

@stuart782

Thanks!

It is still used but not for this type of concrete because the 'fiber-weave' mixed in acts as the rebar or steel reinforcing mesh instead.

@rvr2 awesome !! i really like fiber mesh cause i hate doing rebar
