I saw this today in an otherwise nice stamped concrete area.

I'm not even, but that would drive me nuts if I had to see that every day.

The only measurement we can use to gauge his work is did he get paid.

Remove drain cap.
Core to center
Reinstall drain to center with offset piping

But matching the stain on the new moon-shaped section of concrete will never look good.

Maybe core it center about 8” circle and stain a complementary color?

That sounds like the easiest fix.

OP next time you see check how aligned it is with true north. That would be more of an OCD tic for me.

So no one is going to ask if the direction North is pointing is correct?

I hope it was intentional. Every day, some new soul cringes at his work, and will continue to do so long after his death.

He is immortal

It's not the plumber. The pipe was roughed in before the pour. It's the concrete guy that did the stamp.

The person that did that is going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

Ah Joe, It's Friday. That's close enough.

I would have made the concrete guy come back and carefully saw and chisel  out a perfect circle that encompassed...uh, ...the compass, and replace it. Still wouldn't match the stain of the rest, at least not perfectly, but at least it would be a uniform mismatch.

Thank you!

What kind of a person takes a picture of a compass rose from that angle?
