Ever get to a job that is way harder than what is said on the order? I got to this one yesterday suppose to be 150' of hose turned out to be 190 out then 40 feet down then 50' on the barge. All accross a rickety old bridge. 275 feet of system with a forty foot drop. Yeah i get there and two trucks are all ready on the highway. Lucky the small rock mix was good and my pump could push it. All went well..

Lucky i'm not afraid of heights, half the old boards were rotten. Don't lean on the handrail!

Yeah, I've gone to jobs like that.

Ever get sent to the ones where they say you need 200+ ft of system, then you get to the job and you use 60 ft Surprised

I always carry way more system then I need just in case they need more than is requested on ticket. Always better to have too much, than not enough!!!

Hey Terry. No i never do, but in this circumstance i used two buckets of quick gell. Terry make sure your using "quick gell" light brown bentonite not the grey other. I got a few bags of the grey donated and it is crap.. not the same stuff.
