Finishing The Concrete
If you pay attention to what other people are doing, you can learn an awful lot. In our old house we had paid a contractor to put in a patio and walkway for us. It happened to be during a time that I was on vacation from work. Before then, I thought that working with concrete was next to impossible. However, I watch how the workers excavated, put up forms, placed and worked with the rebar, etc. Just watching those guys working with concrete gave me the confidence to give it a try myself. So my brother and I did our patio together and then we put his in. We took our time and both our patios turned out great.
