Anyone lay their own concrete?

I've formed, poured, screeded and finished large pours and this is not something you want to do your first time. You'll just waste your money and time. It is back breaking work and if not done properly, you'll end up paying to have what you put in removed and then have to pay someone to do it properly. I would shop around and good luck.

It's like my wife always tells me " The cheap comes out expensive!" sometimes it's best to leave a job, especially one not easily fixed, to the pro's.
