This is my favourite Monday puzzle ever! What a fun and thoughtful theme. I hope we get a lot more puzzles from this constructor!

Great Wednesday puzzle. A small and admittedly nit-picky comment from someone who works in the cement and concrete industry. Cement is the precursor product to concrete, and is a fine, soft powder. One would not use a trowel to “spread” cement, as one would not be spreading cement at all. The correct clue for 49 down would replace “cement” with “concrete”, the final product that is actually used for masonry, construction and other end-use applications. Cheers!
