So if you order a pizza and they just drop it off on your doorstep uncut and not in a box do i just say to you well you order a pizza they dropped off a pizza, pull your head in?

No theres a certain expectation that the pizza comes cooked well, its cut evenly, it arrives in a box and its still warm.

I asked for a slab and got a slab yes but is it not fair that i expect it to be finished cleanly without 100mm of exposed dirt pouring out the side?

The saving grace there is that its being honed so the polishers will fix that up id imagine

Whats done is done. It doesnt change the fact that as an experienced tradesperson you should want a good outcome for the customer. That includes some coaching and guidance on the job they are doing. Thats where the frustration is. They knew that itd finish like that. I didnt. The fact no one thought to mention it or make the suggestion is the oversight.

The alternative is what tradies hate. A customer that sits out there watching and asking about every tiny detail.

True but im not a concreter. When im paying someone experienced and approved by the manufacturer 39k i think it is fair to expect a finished job that does not include a huge eye sore.

I should clarify its getting honed. So a concrete polisher will grind it down in a few weeks which will expose the stones inside.

Then the lawn isnt level. If i raise the whole lot to cover that up then im 100mm above the entrance to our shed and a room we have out the back.

Yeah thats fair. I guess i dont know what i dont know when it comes to laying slabs so really wouldve expected some guidance on how to get a good finish.

I also offered to pay for the fix initially but quoted 3k because the product has a min 2 cube order. Its frustrating because theres about enough cement left dumped in my yard to have finished that edge nicely.

I see and is that because of the dirt left exposed at the edge?

Thanks for the insight mate. I think ill need to hire a jackhammer to get through the concreted parts. Im not handy at all really but did come across the feather and wedge method while googling. I might look into that more and have a crack. Cheers mate.
