Shoutout to the crew on that huge Phoenix pour last spring

We were finishing a massive warehouse floor, about 10,000 square feet, and the boss brought in a new guy to run the power trowel. He kept the blades way too high on the first pass, just skimming. An older finisher from another crew, Frank, walked over, adjusted them down a quarter inch, and said, 'You're just polishing air, kid. Let the machine do the work.' That one move saved us hours of rework. Anyone have a different trick for setting blade height on a first burn?

Polishing air, that's a new one. Sounds like Frank saved you from a very expensive day of making shiny dust.

Wait, was Frank the guy who stopped you?
