    Explain what you poured.. where is it location respectively to the house/structure

    Was it a hand mix? ( sounds like too much sand in it )

    Been pouring for over 30 years and this is a first for me. Is it soft? I'm assuming its flat work and the " dry" is not there because its sitting in a low puddle area.

    Good news is if its good crete it gets harder the longer it takes to cure.

    So get back so we can figure this out.
