Question
I had a fiberglass reinforced patio poured one week ago today. However, I still have not used it. The contractor is telling me that he has to "bond" it and then I can use it the next day. Also, there is a spot too close to my house where water puddles(concrete)should I be concerned about it? If so, what can my contractor do to fix it?

Answer
Hi Berni,
The contractor can do little to correct the "puddle" at this point,
unless it is very deep, I would do nothing. Concrete is very difficult to repair and still have it look good.
Also, take his advice and stay off until cured... "green" concrete can be easily damaged.

Best of luck,

Dave
