You could have been less-stupid and put off pouring it until the
temperature was more optimal for producing a high-quality, high-strength
end result.
You're going to have a lot of water loss through the bottom surfaces
into the ground *- which you can't keep wet from the top side.
You should be using plastic under the concrete.
There's already too much plastic being buried...then again, I suppose
if we bury it all and wait around for long enough, we'll be
replenishing the oil 'aquifer'.
