Restoration frustration

So I did this job.




Twenty five hundred square feet of cement topping is a lot even if everything goes right.

At a little more than 1/8" thick and a working time of fifteen minutes this was non stop fun for about eight hours. THE FIRST TIME!!!

Yeah... The customer wasn't happy and on some levels rightfully so.

There were some five hundred feet of control joint in this area that had to be retraced and cut.

More thought should have gone into this part of the job as it turned out to be the biggest hurdle.

The second time turned out better but toppings are twitchy and great care should be taken to educate the customer to there limitations.
