That cracked slab job taught me patience the hard way

I took on a stamped concrete patio last month near Austin and figured I'd have it done in two days easy. But the base prep took way longer than I thought because the ground was still soft from all that rain we had. I ended up spending almost 5 hours just compacting and re-grading before I even thought about pouring. Has anyone else had a simple job turn into a full day of fixing someone else's bad base work?
