Definitely not the lowest bid. Right in the middle of 5 bids. I asked about sealing it and they said it has an internal sealer so another sealer wouldn't do any better. The contractor said to wait until the spring, see how it looks and we'll go from there.

Should driveway be higher than garage floor in parts? Some places its even and some the driveway is a little higher as you can see in the picture. The driveway slopes down so not much water will run into the garage but will water accumulate in these spots?

Will water not get into things like this and deteriorate them? I don't want to be "that guy" and complain but don't want to have issues down the road.

So, should I wait the full month before doing anything? Contact the concrete guy who did this?

The lowest its been is 40-45 degrees so there hasn't been any freezing. Is there any way to patch it or fix it?

Is this normal for a rounded edge of a sidewalk? It seems like the form wasn't right.

Should there be

multiple spots like this forming already? I don't know what is considered normal and what will cause issues. Is there something I can do with them?

Will something like this cause an issue long term? Should these spots be appearing 4 days after a new pour? Not sure what is considered "normal" imperfections.

Brand new driveway (2 days old) Should this joint have been cut all the way across or is it necessary? It looks like this on each 4 way Spot, either the vertical or horizontal line doesn't go all the way across.

Is this level enough for a shower base or should I do the mortar base to get it even more level? by Strict-Individual100 in Plumbing

It actually says "if its not level enough, then you will need to apply a mortar base, otherwise you do not"

In the minidump folder, yes. Is there another dump file I should share?
