CONCRETE COUNTERTOPS - Lessons Were Learned!
What happens here
Upon inspection the next day, the first concrete pour had failed to harden properly and was crumbly. The entire slab is broken up and removed from the formwork. For the second attempt, the concrete mix is adjusted: no flow control additive is used, and a rebar grid is again placed, ensuring proper elevation with spacers. The new concrete is then mixed and carefully poured into the formwork.
Goal: Remove failed concrete and prepare for a successful second pour.
