    Assuming that who ever mixed the concrete did it correctly, you'll be fine. As others have mentioned concrete cures, not dries. I've actually taken a sample of concrete and sealed it in a ziplock bag. It cured just fine even though there wasn't even a tiny bit of drying. The things you worry about are drying too quickly or freezing.

    I really wouldn’t worry about it, I think you’ll be fine. Concrete mixes nowadays have all kinds of wild admixtures and raw ingredients that make them look and feel different than they used to.

    They adjust for temperature & conditions all the time nowadays. All you gotta worry about is finishing & if you’ve done the groundwork right.

    Trim prybar and a hardwood pressure distribution piece of thin hardwood or another trim prybar. Go from the top or corner to start.

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    Use a very wide putty knife to pry against. Slip it between the molding and the plaster. Gently pry with it until you can get a trim pry bar between the molding and putty knife.

    I wondered if having a 16-24" piece of wood would work to pry against.
    Like, 6-8" putty knife?
    Thanks! That was my next question. Never seen one of those before.
    I've saved that to watch later.

    Shannon’s the freaking GOAT.

    The first thing in that video was exactly what I was gonna chime in with. Cut away the caulk/paint with a utility knife before prying away at anything. :thumbsup:

    I was lucky. A straight shot from driveway to porch. The worst case would of been the cement driving around to the front from the backyard. Tight but doable.

    The cement company says the same thing. They adjust to the temperature. Even in the freezing temps.

    They had to add more water due to temps and direct sunlight. The contractor was worried about drying too quick and cracking.

    Last year when it was really hot I saw burlap used extensively on pours. Guess moisture is retained better.

    I did the paper towel test and it was dry. Then the finger swipe, no mark marks. Then I tried leaving a footprint, nothing. Then I got brave and starting stomping on it. It held my weight without any issue. I had to pop a few air bubbles.

    I should of have my kids leave a footprint while it was still wet.

    No, they lay it on top at a certain point. I’d need to ask the cement guy but I don’t speak his language.
