Rant: My backyard concrete fire pit is refusing to smooth out
I decided to build a fire pit with a nice finished edge as a weekend thing (sounded simple, right?). But no matter how much I trowel, the surface keeps getting these little pits and lines (like it's fighting me). I mixed the batch by hand, and I think I added too much water too fast (my bad, I know). Now it's setting up weird, and I'm worried the finish will look amateur hour. I've done flatwork for years, but curved surfaces are a whole other beast (who knew?). Just needed to vent to folks who get the struggle.
