PSA: The amount of guys I see using a garden hose to spray down a slab is wild

A concrete truck driver pointed it out to me on a job in Boise, saying the pressure is way too low and just pushes debris into the surface. I keep a $60 electric power washer in my truck now for a clean finish. Anyone else carry a small washer for final cleanup?

A garden hose in Boise, seriously?

Grab a pressure washer, it's a game changer.

My uncle was a mason for forty years and he'd get so mad seeing that. He said a hose just makes a muddy mess and you can watch the cream get ruined. It's one of those little things that separates a decent job from a really good one. A small power washer makes such a clear difference in the final look. That driver giving you a tip was passing on some real trade knowledge.
