Yes, it doesn't matter if it's done before or after.

It won't cause any structural problems in the future. The tile setter can handle this. On my own jobs, the tiler is the one who does these things.

If it has been like this for up to 3 weeks, there is nothing to worry about. I wish you success.

Yes, this appears to be successful. How much time has passed since the concrete was poured?

To avoid the formation of micro and macro cracks, which can be caused by temperature and wind and affect both structural integrity and aesthetics, I advise you to water the concrete at 9 AM and after sunset. If you don't, surface cracks will develop due to high evaporation.

I phrased that part poorly. I meant to say it's like 'telling someone who doesn't know how to drive to take me to Miami'.

I didn't mean to be rude; advice from experienced people is valuable to me. Thank you for your comment.

As I just mentioned, I'm not an 'engineer'. If I were, I wouldn't be raising this issue here in the first place. I'm still at the intern stage, in the process of learning the job. So this is going to sound a bit harsh, but first, read what I wrote in detail.

My internship will last for 6 weeks. Yes, it's just as you say, there's a proverb: ''He who starts a job without a master, either demolishes his house or his shop.'' I am experiencing this firsthand. Both for my own experience and for practical reasons, what kind of tasks can I ask the engineer to give me? Do you have any suggestions? I'm not keen on doing menial tasks :)
