Bull Float [finishing/smoothing concrete slabs]

[nelsonic]

We ned a float for smoothing the concrete slab we are going to pour. While I would obviously prefer to rent one of these for a couple of days, that does not appear to be a thing for this kind of specialised tool. 🤷‍♂️

I did a quick recon mission yesterday (with 👶) to all of the construction supplies stores in Braga and the only local store had a much smaller float and it was more expensive than these online options.

Buying it direct from Vevor is cheaper than from Amazon ES:

So thinking of placing this order so that it can arrive ASAP. The slab will be the last concrete pour but if everything goes according to plan we will be doing it in the next 6-8 weeks. 🤞

Ordered a few other concrete finishing tools:

I think I might become a construction worker when AI makes software engineering obsolete. 😜

Dispatched from Germany:

Ordered 7 days ago ... ⏳ Let's see if it's delivered today. 💭 Not that we need this item yet. The slab is one of the last things to be built. 🚧 Just that I want to confirm that the seller is reliably going to deliver ... 🤔

Impressively expensive for what it is 🙃

Yeah, agreed. All tools have healthy margins. As I was discussing with @carolrmc yesterday, this kind of tool is a must. Without it it’s basically impossible to have flat/smooth concrete. 🙄
