Go over to the OP's and look at his when he is done. That will be one
of them.
If you've got to ask, yo'veu obviously not installed or serviced any
of them and I dont believe you've done 6. I think you may have seen
six of them done after you showed up.
Ive seen lots of screw ups. The majority of them would be the
homeowners trying to do it "on the cheap".
That's what makes "Service" so wonderful.

I don't spew BS like some people seem to. I'm done with this thread.
The OP can see if he can make any use of your asinine flames. Grow up
would be my advice.

Human error is the greatest pitfall. Have a good long talk with
your concrete guy/s They are the ones that can make or break your
installation. Then lots of ties to hold everything in place before
they show up for the pour.
