there are different reasons why someone might not build. lack of confidence from lack of know how is just one reason (probably the least annoying reason) but there's nothing you can't do if you put your mind to it and at least try. the last time we poured, i stuck to clean-up and a helping hand here or there but did not pick up a trowel. i felt like i wasn't living my full potential because everything i've tried so far, i've done. i won't let this be an exception. i've watched every step and i've heard every pointer, so why couldn't i build to?
then the truck came and it was obvious one more set of hands was needed so i jumped in and shoveled crete into the form. i screted it up. i then said to myself "if they can do it, so can i" and grabbed a darby and started working it. then i grabbed a magnesium float and started working it, then i grabbed a finisher trowel and i kept working it. in my head, i'm thinking this is too fun and my sore muscles today remind me of the effort i put in and the enjoyment everyone will feel as they roll over the smooth concrete quarter pipeS i helped build. i did this. you can too.
