You pour out a 250 yrd slab and washout ready to go home. The super comes up to you after you washout and says hey i need you to pour out this sheer wall and columns. Why do they wait to tell you after you clean out and are folded up. So I had to set up all over again in the exact same spot. I was never told about the other pour. Come to find out it was a last minute desicion.

Brian-

I've had that happen a time or three.

Here's what I don't like...

Ya...  left overs under the 's'-tube.  You go to run a pump that's not assigned to you and this is what you 'get' to deal with 1st thing in the morning.

Sometimes I wonder what these guys' homes look like...

haha

I've had that happen, then they ran short, super. says the columns measured to be half yard each ( there was 4 of them) so he ordered 2 yards. He tried blaming me for running short.

we have a contractor that does this alot. thursday i was out pumping for them i roll up for some slab on grade. they ordered a 52 which is what i was. they show me where to set up and the first thing i say to my oiler is how much system you think i will put on? so eneded up being a 61meter. then i had to move for some colums. they werent even ready. i finally poured the 6 colums out then they say your done i will get you a water truck. i water wash and fold up. foreman come over and says hey we have to more over here that are not ready but want to pour. he tells me sorry. i tell him i will move and wash this pump out ten times if you want it fine with me just happy to be working for you guys.
