Q: Do you need a special drill bit for concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, it's best to use a carbide-tipped masonry bit when drilling into concrete. These bits are harder and more durable than standard bits, so they're designed for drilling into tough surfaces like concrete. A different bit is likely to break and pose a safety hazard so you'll definitely want to stick with one that's specially designed for concrete. </p></div>

Q: How do you get a smooth finish when pouring concrete?

• <div><p>The trick to getting a smooth finish when pouring concrete is to smooth the surface of the concrete with a magnesium float. This tool helps bring the finer, smoother aggregate to the surface for a cleaner finish. Don&rsquo;t overdo the floating process, though, or the slab can become weaker and start to scale. </p></div>

Q: Does fiber concrete crack?

• <div><p>Yes, fiber concrete can crack, and contrary to popular belief, it will crack under similar forces to rebar-reinforced concrete. The difference is in how the crack spreads through the slab. When you exert pressure on a slab, the slab flexes downward, putting tensile forces on the bottom of the slab. In rebar concrete, a crack at the bottom will also quickly appear on the top surface. In fiber concrete, the fibers hold the two sides of that bottom crack together, making it less likely for the crack to form on the top surface.</p></div>

Q: How do you cut cement pavers without a saw?

• <div><p>An easy way to cut concrete pavers without a saw is to use a hammer and chisel. You can make a few passes over your paver with a hammer and chisel to make a fissure where you want the paver to break. Once the divot is about 1/8 inch thick, drive the chisel hard into the center of the line to complete the cut without using a saw.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of a concrete house?

• <div><p>Concrete houses cost 10% to 20% more to build than stick-built homes, and maintenance on home systems is more invasive and expensive due to pipes and wires being buried in concrete. Concrete homes can also look more industrial and less comfortable if you don&rsquo;t cover the concrete with finishing materials. It&rsquo;s also more challenging to make changes to concrete, so reframing doors and windows or building home additions will cost more. Concrete needs time to cure, too, so the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-it-take-build-house.htm">timeline to build a house</a> out of concrete is a bit longer.</p></div>
