How to Build a Concrete Landing Pad

In this video I go over how I built a concrete landing pad for my deck stairs. I ended up dying this pad a charcoal color using Quikrete's Cement Coloring. It was my first time using this product but was happy with its results. The entire process took me about 10 hours, including the digging of my whole. This isn't a difficult project and would encourage beginner DIYers to give it a shot.

What size wood did you use for the platform ?
