    concrete curing
    Ok, my shower drain worked out great! I just poured my concrete and am wondering how I will know when to spray with water to keep it from cracking while it is curing. The slab is 3" thick and 3'x6 1/2'. I live in Denver, very dry climate.
    Especially this time of year. Your skin can't get enough lotion, you even get shocked when you reach for the door handle on your car! So, I would guess that I will need to wet it more often than in more humid area's.
    Thanks

    You can cover the concrete w/ plastic after you spray it to keep the moisture against the slab
