The results are all a credit to your skills! I only defined it, YOU made it happen!
For the rest of you, I took on a job to install a 8'x16' swim spa for a friend. It required tearing out a tree and a sidewalk and adding electrical and a concrete pad to put it on. We over-ex'd the area and removed all the organic material in the soil, then whacked it back in, set steel, and poured a buncha' concrete (ten yards). I needed a good finisher, and who else would I think of?
Since the owner had added a lot a footage (actually about tripled it before the final day came), Steve had to call in an additional guy to help him. The results came out a perfectly level pad in the middle of a sloped pour, with a sub-drain upslope from the pad for water to escape. There were a lot of angles to this pour, and Steve handled them perfectly. No compromises were made, and the owner is completely happy with the whole thing.
Again, THANKS, Steve! You made me look good!

Nope. I put 4 layers of plastic down. Plus, considering The floors were already stained severly when we moved in (she was supposed to have it cleaned/replaced before we moved in), I'm not too worried. We do have our own professional cleaner in the closet, so I'll get whatever is there out, well most of it. But I'm not too conserned, as she states (have this in writing too) "We're just going to replace in 6 months." I"ve got another year on my contract, so I get new carptes. 
YES!!! Loads of parts!
