Pour a Concrete Slab

Step 10

Screed the other side.

Working with a helper, screed the other side of the slab. You can let one end of the 2 by 4 rest on the screeded concrete while the other rests on a form board. Fill in any low spots and screed again.

Be sure the form is completely full before saying good-bye to the driver. (He may help you spray-clean your wheelbarrow if you’ve gotten friendly.)

It's a good idea to pour some leftover concrete into a 5-gallon bucket; you may find that you need a little more when you finish the surface.
