re: Someone in Lake Charles got a pretty sick looking patio built * Update from owner pg 13 *

I'm just amazed at the concrete up on the soffit/eaves as well.

Eh...I have seen it happen but usually, you spray it off fast so it doesn't dry. In this case, the concrete was already setting up and they had no chance.

The worst part is covering the weep holes and only adding a layer an inch or two thick over existing concrete.

That slab would have been too high as well for a patio and the owner would have had a real risk of water entering through the weep holes and under the door. The old slab should have been ripped out first IMO. The owners had no way of knowing that and should have been told by the "professional"
