Even here in Michigan that is hardly a worry for sections that small. Virtually every sidewalk, front walk and AC pad is poured like that here, most onto poorly or totally unpacked soil - let alone proper sharp sand or sand over gravel. No real issue with the heaving as long as the sections are kept under 5X5'.
The foam with stucco'd ones are cheap and quick - I did that last time. Some claim your AC lasts longer due to the pad absorbing vibration better than concrete. YMMV.

You're probably pouring a little too stiff, which makes it hard to float them down - with the float.
I thought you were part Italian - you're supposed to know this stuff instinctively.
I had a black neighbor come over one time'
should look like thick oatmeal is what ive always heard

ha, thats some harry homeowner with a welder shit.
I always figure mortar should be able to stand 3-4 fingers high on a pointed trowel scoop. Cement on same should not quite run off completely - 1 finger high.
no idea! this one is old as hell and probably on its way out, fingers crossed it dies in the next month or so, otherwise it'll be outside the home warranty (which is technically up on NYE but it's already starting to get chilly here so I can't imagine it'll get much more use after August)
