Tried hand troweling vs power trowel on a 500 sq ft garage slab
I'm working a residential garage in Phoenix, about 500 square feet, and I decided to hand finish the whole thing instead of using my power trowel. BIG mistake. My arm was dead by the second pass and the surface ended up with these little waves that I had to grind down. Next day I brought out the power trowel for a similar sized pad and it came out glass smooth in half the time. Any of you guys ever stubbornly do something the hard way for no good reason?

Feel you on that @eva_rivera. Did the same thing last year on my own driveway and my back hated me for a week. Sometimes you just gotta learn the hard way even when you know better.
