Methods and systems for making and using a wide swath offset concrete screed apparatus for screeding wet concrete slurry. The apparatus includes a cross support bar, an attachment mechanism for attaching the cross support bar to a liftable arm of a motorized vehicle, and lateral support bars for attaching a screed bar to the cross support bar. The screed bar is positioned offset from the motorized vehicle used to operate the screed, allowing the motorized vehicle to drive outside the forms.

A joint tape embedding apparatus configured to determine the bonding and/or feel of embedding joint tape into a dry wall or wall board joint using a particular joint compound. The joint embedding apparatus is configured to allow the same user or different users to accurately repeat the determination of the bonding and/or feel attributes of the joint compound.

A pan holder includes a base plate, a handle, and a wrist support. The base plate has an interior surface and an exterior surface. The handle includes a first arc-shaped wall mounted to the exterior surface of the base plate. The first arc-shaped wall is sized to fit and rest within a palm of a hand when the pan holder is used. The wrist support includes a second arc-shaped wall mounted to the exterior surface to extend perpendicularly from the exterior surface. A minimum distance between the first arc-shaped wall and the second arc-shaped wall is selected to accommodate a thumb-wrist portion of the hand. The second arc-shaped wall is curved when projected into a first plane defined by the exterior surface. The second arc-shaped wall is concave relative to a second plane that extends through a lengthwise center of the handle and is perpendicular to the first plane.

Methods and systems for making and using a wide swath offset concrete screed apparatus for screeding wet concrete slurry. The apparatus includes a cross support bar, an attachment mechanism for attaching the cross support bar to a liftable arm of a motorized vehicle, and a roller screed attached to the cross support bar. The roller screed is positioned offset from the motorized vehicle used to operate the screed, allowing the motorized vehicle to drive outside the forms.

A screed hook apparatus includes a tubular collar having an opening through a sidewall thereof. A tubular retainer member is aligned with the opening on the collar and extends away from an outer surface of the collar. The retainer member has a threaded internal wall surface. The apparatus also includes an arm forming a hook shape. The arm has a first portion extending away from the collar and a second portion extending transverse to a direction of extension of the first portion such that a surface of the second portion of the arm faces the sidewall of the collar. A set screw has a threaded portion to engage the threaded internal wall surface of the retainer member, and a handle is attached to the set screw.
