Had a 12-foot section of curb just slump out of shape on a Friday afternoon pour

We were finishing a new driveway apron in the afternoon heat, and the mix felt a bit wetter than usual from the plant. About an hour after we tooled the edge, the whole middle section just slumped down almost an inch, ruining the line. What's your go-to fix for a hot day slump like that, short of tearing it out?

What slump, that's just a custom drainage feature you made for free?

Exactly, gotta love those happy little accidents. My patio has a "custom water feature" too after that last storm. Free upgrades are the best kind.

Honestly used to get so mad when stuff like that happened. Tbh I saw every leak or crack as a bill waiting to happen. But reading this actually makes sense. Calling it a custom feature is a way better way to look at it. Ngl it turns a headache into something you can almost laugh about. Changes the whole feeling when you can't fix it right away.
