Its a shame all this is getting covered up!
What happens here
The final step shown is finishing the concrete surface. A concrete float, typically a long, flat tool, is used to smooth and level the top surface of the freshly vibrated concrete. This process helps to bring a fine paste to the surface, creating a durable and even finish. The float is moved back and forth across the concrete, removing any high spots and filling in low spots, preparing it for any subsequent curing or finishing steps.
Goal: Smooth and level the top surface of the concrete footing
