Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Thanks kind stranger!
This is one of the pics my wife took, the run starts about 3 meters (9 feet) back from where the pic was taken
And this was the man of the hour:
https://www.princessauto.com/en/product/5-8-in-d-handle-mixer-drill/PA0009183518/9183518
I bought a large rubber tub (I think they are intended to feed cattle) which worked out great since it could take the hits from the drill without cracking. I would toss a sack in (still in bag), pour water around it and then cut it open. The water would minimize the amount of cement dust in the air and minimize clumping (compared to pouring the water on top of the concrete mix)
Once sack at at time, pour, mix, shovel into area... repeat
Freaking impressive honestly! And you stamped it? Very nice!
Thanks!
Yes, we bought a "slate rock" silicon piece to give it the texture and a grid to stamp it. If you look closely, you can see the proper pattern repeating in the middle of the slab and we had to manually stamp the edges (mostly with a small stick the tickness of the grid and a handle that my son 3D printed)
Creative way to do the sides, I love it
