Yeah i went know today for the first time in 2009 and since like a month ago.
The job isnt the greatest because of set up, but since economy is so bad i didnt really have a change but say yessss.

 So enjoy the pics, and say whatever you guys feel like it.

I know the set up is very isshhhhhh. but ....

Theres also some pictures of a buddy of mine that was pumping right around the corner from me.

Nice shots, man.

After running that machine a while, what do you think of it?  I see you've found the 'awkward-zone' for a RZ boom - when you need to get close to the truck, but you've got a building next to you.

Anyhoo, have a good new year and have fun.

Ray-

If you were sitting any closer to the building with that 5 section boom, would you still have been able to do the stairs after the deck pour? I've never run a 5 section boom like that one, I'm trying to picture sitting next to the building and being able to still get the stairs.

nice bro, im diggin them pads, steel? how much they weigh?

Where's the crane?

Pour it out, brother.

Have a safe 2009. Great pics ;~)

Love the pics man....How you liking the Mighty Concord?

I was wondering what happened to You! Nice Pics! I see the Almeida Pump. Those guys were real nice when I met them in Nov of 06. You guys have some of the best looking pumps I have seen.

Have you been to the city lately?

Im still waiting for them two jobs to start! drove past them today,still looks like another month out.  Just bought a new 40m and could use the work. Just curious how many pumps does almeida have?

Raymond that aint no "awkward zone" that's called the "trick section" man!

As I've told you before Tioga, I love those pumps! How'd you get that rear outrigger out? I'm betting you drove it in there in reverse? Pump-On man!!!

Hi Tiago !

I am with typesdub , where is the pic of the truck with the nice Palfinger knuckleboom on ? You said you would post moore pic of that nice rig !

The wooden "safety rails" reminded me of a situation I was in about 15 years ago.I was pouring the 11th floor hooked in to a spider and my mistake was leaning on a corner safety rail,one of the boards broke loose,somehow I grabbed the remaining piece of "safety rail" and kept from falling.I might suggest not using the "safety rails" for anything except for marking the edge of the building,nothing else,they are not designed for leaning or sitting.The pictures indicate an operator gave his "all", by getting those legs inside the shoring,short rigging properly,and going above and beyond by pouring those cast-in-place steps.The SLOW on the outriggers is also a great idea.........
