HELP.
I jut laid some kerb stones and back filled with concrete - it then
decodes to rain heavily.
The gulley I dug out ofr kerb stones and back filled with a heavy
conrete mix has now filled completly with water.
Once it has drained away will the concrete still cure or will i have to
start all over again :o(

Concrete will cure just fine underwater, assuming you don't have
flowing water that washes away all your hard work before it cures.

The Romans created concrete breakwaters under the ocean that are still
functioning after 2,000 years. Don't worry about it.

usualy this results in a smoother finish on the surface of the
concrete, the only problem will occure if it penetrated, which it won't
do unless it was comming down reallllyyyyy hard.

You'll actually find once the water goes, it'll be stronger than if it
didn't rain. Water-curing is common.
