![]() By the way, I also use to do brain surgery and shoe repair, but only part time, so I'm not very good at either one. ![]() .

![]() Then we'll head back to sunny California for the winter ![]() Thanks for all the advice, it really helps! Since I'm only doing small sections at a time, I might just continue to smooth it with my 400mm float. I maybe dont have the skills to use a large float, and it will always be an improvement on the surface thats there now ![]() John, I think I understand that I shouldn't concrete all the way up to the existing walls, and need to leave a gap for movement? If that's the case, how do I create that gap, do I wedge a form (piece of wood or board) in between the wall and the concrete and pull it out before the concrete fully sets? |

This is what I mean by concreting up to an existing wall

You can glue the foam directly to the wall. Leave a little foam above the slab surface and trim it off after the concrete sets, then caulk the joint to prevent seepage. Rolled Foam .

Exactly how LONG did you work at that concrete job John?
You seemed to have been at it for years. Retained a lot of knowledge.

That was over 40 years ago. But I've been able to retain some of the skills by doing concrete work for myself and friends over the years. When you know how to do stuff that people need, you always seem to have lots of friends. ![]() .
