I do concrete in the usa from a state called Utah. It's crazy how every concrete guy has there own way of pouring, and finishing. I love it! I'm definitely going to start calling the power trowel, a helicopter now haha. Keep it up guys! We are a dieing breed, no one wants to do hard work anymore.

Nathan McIntosh thanks buddy for the kind words . The way I look at it is them guys that starts screaming straight away is because they are not very confident in what they are doing I have had a lot of different bosses and I have learnt that the one that know what they’re doing never scream at the workers unless they fuck up properly 👍👊 .

Back in the stone age when dinosaurs walked the earth was when I did my first bit of floor screeding. Luckily there were cement trucks rather than having to mix it all by hand but due to the floor area being miles from the truck the mortar had to be brought in by wheelbarrow which was then ruled and tamped into place with long lengths of 4x2. We never had a copter or the spinning roller thingy but we did have an aerator, these were tools that hadn't been invented yet and after the days screeding my back was an agony of pain so many thanks to the building gods for designing and building these fantastic little helpers it's also nice when you have the good weather like you guys seem to get because here in the UK it's mostly either raining, cloudy and overcast, snow or hale, everything but sunshine really. So it's nice to see a demonstration of how to properly lay down a floor, well done and the best of luck for the future.

My pleasure. I actually work using lime putty mortars and plasters which I slake and make myself but it's so specialist that as you can imagine work is hard to find. I also have a small museum of old mortars and plasters as well as 3 inch thick chunks of lime flooring and one treasured piece of haired lime mortar on a straw background that has an 1846 newspaper stuck to it. One thing that surprised me was learning that cement and lime will continue to harden up to 6 years later. I was reading about an old Roman cement harbour still in one piece where the mortar is harder today than it was when it was first built a few thousand years ago. This is because of small plate like structures that form in the mortar when sea water comes into contact with the pumis or lava in the mix called 'Phillipsite' which bends rather than shatters when it's stressed. Anyway, enough learning for one day, and all the best from the South of England.
