Now that you know the basics of working with concrete, you are in a better position to decide if you want to tackle a concrete job as a do-it-yourself project, or if you want to hire a pro. Many times, you can help out with some of the work even though you hired a pro. There's always wheelbarrows of concrete to move and tools to clean. Screeding is at least a three man job on larger slabs. So talk it over with your pro...you may be able to make the job a partial do-it-yourself project.
Until next time, In Bocca Al Lupo!
