 In my tenure pumping concrete, I have noticed there always seems to be more accidents right before this big holiday. Gen. Contractors big push to have there subs. have it poured by Christmas. I have seen many mistakes made this time of year. I am glad everyone walked away from this one. ( Thank God ) be safe ,happy holidays,
