I was asking about slope pouring awhile back, and this is the job i was inquiring about. Going good so far, about 50 out of 500 yds.

To each his own but we always form and pour up the hill. Form the whole slope and pour every other one. Nail pins inside the next pour area. Remove the forms and pour in between. Nice pictures. We are shooting around 500 yards for the first time. It is faster but hang on.

These guys I pumped for did pour from the bottom up, but they wanted to pour that perimiter band first. I guess they are stamping the sloped area under the deck... that should be interesting. Oh, they also want to pour out from one side to the other, rather than from the top down or bottom up? If I remember, xclh79 you have done lots of this... is that a good Idea or not. they are putting it down @ like a 2" slump, man that crap is dry... the schwing is taking it though.

Nice photo's. Glad to hear it worked. Do you pump through 2.5" hose? I do on mine, I use a 50-50 3/4" minus rock mix. It pumps great. Pumped a basement floor this morning 22 yds.

That dry mix is tough. I will not pump pools anymore because of that, way to hard on the pump for the same price as a 4 or 5" slump.

That's an excellent mix. I like it when they mix small and larger rock. Just around here it gets too complicated for them..
