Just realized my biggest mistake on a slab pour took 8 hours to fix

I thought I had my grade stakes set perfect for a 12x16 patio last month. But after I poured and started screeding I realized the whole thing was sloping wrong by almost an inch. It took me 8 hours to chip it out and redo the base the next day. Has anyone else had a basic layout mistake that cost them a full day?

Pouring over sloped ground is just a concrete hazing ritual.

How many pours you seen go sideways like that?

Didn't they make the apprentices pour on slopes back in '09?
