    Old guy showed me a great tip years ago and I always do it now.have a length of 4’’,damp lay it over the concrete from side to side and gently seesaw it back and foe once the concrete has picked up a bit just as you were doing with the timber tamper,take your time and you get a superb finish,it’s all about getting the concrete at the right stage of curing before you start rubbing it up with the damp. Great work too by the way👍

      @Engineer9736 4 года назад +1

      Nice that you’re building your own house! But, keep in mind that different areas around the world have different building codes, caused by different soil and climate (frostline, humidity, etc). What’s code and perfect in the UK may not work well in Russia. Investigate it good to prevent problems over time. And have the foundation calculated by an actual engineer.. everything on top of the foundation depends on the foundation. If the foundation cracks then it’s goodbye home
