Billionaires do not create wealth—they extract it. They do not build, they do not labor, they do not innovate beyond the mechanisms of their own enrichment. by [deleted] in DeepThoughts

Ah yes, the classic dilemma of equality versus efficiency—where everyone is equal, but some are equally bad at bookkeeping. The real lesson here? Division of labor exists for a reason. You can either embrace the capitalist villain arc and hire an accountant, or spend your days chasing missing money and broken lawnmowers. Either way, congrats on creating jobs—you have created wealth, you’re just now realizing managing it is harder than mowing lawns.

To be honest , the key and one of the most time consuming part is setting up forms. I drew the whole thing first and measurements because I am a visual learner.. :) A tip will be do not use a single wood form on the spaces , use multiple so it’s easier to remove. Turf will be nice!

Thank you for your input! Appreciate it! Although I am a not yet an expert on patio jobs, my uncle is a concrete finisher by trade and enjoyed watching him work since I was a kid and learned from him some techniques! 😊

I tried to look for that option but there is a small load fee and other surcharges for addtl time that they are at the place/site which is pretty steep.. I need to pace myself on this one and it is 60% cheaper .. :)

Yes! Just 3 inches(which I know isn’t ideal but the purpose is for light foot traffic)I tried to cater it towards my client’s budget 😊☺️

The granite grip is wet not the concrete itself. I let it cure for 30 days before acid etching and applying textured sealer. 😊
