I think I mentioned that one.
I was in town today, so viewed the offending concrete. There are indeed
two or three footprints in the concrete, quite shallow.
I'd fill them in in a deliberately contrasting colour and make it a fun
feature. I was told that the builder wants £1,000 to dig the lot up and
relay it.
Actually, that sounds unkind to the builder, which I didn't mean to be.
He's done a really rather nice job of laying the concrete, and he's
obviously a perfectionist. The footprints spoil the effect he intended.
However, leaving the footprints going across it and filling them in a
contrasting colour would be quite a fun way of dealing with it, at minimal
expense.
Doubt it would last long if they are shallow.
