Everything now waits on the concrete to be poured. And though it is only 600 sf., it is a little complicated, having to taper everything away from the house, then another taper adjacent to the trench drain, then a 3 3/4" step-down, and then a final taper to the edge of the patio. Maybe this is why we can't seem to line up the concrete finishers. Oh, and then there is how do we get the concrete to the porch/patio? You can't drive a truck into my back yard, can't even get any closer than the driveway, and that's at least 150' away. I don't know whether the concrete truck can even use the driveway. We may have to move the concrete from the street in front of the house, and that's probably 200'. Oh well, I am sure the professionals that do this, deal with these kinds of problems all the time.
