technical terms
Concrete vibrator, screed, bull float, edge float (I may have googled a bit).
I think the problem with DIY is that you need to finish once you've started, or you end up with janky bits where you have poured onto much drier concrete - You can't leave it overnight, when you realise it's 8pm and you've left your child at nursery again.

This will be a big chunk of the balance. Although, I'd actually love to do it. Getting a full day where I'm not either working or beingabadparentandneglectingmydaughterrememberthistimeispreciousandifyouwasteitdoingthingstoimproveourfamilyhomeyoureabastardyoumonster is another thing. I can clear the area and maybe even shutter in 1 to 2 hour bursts.
I'm glad you know the technical terms, because I don't.
