Here's the whole crew at work. We chose not to rent a concrete pump as they are pretty expensive, so we built a trough to pull the concrete down to where we needed it. The system worked pretty well, but it was pretty labor intensive. I felt like I had played in a full volleyball tournament the next morning :)

HAHAHA That is poor execution of executive decision making right there!!

where did this take place?

Those poor scientists either poured the entire foundation like that Or they did pump the lower portion and ended up with a 10 hr. pump bill due to their expert carpenter skills and spent $2K on a nightmare nearly equal to this one.

"What! HOW Much??...

Yup,you see that from time to time.

Had a job in Breckenridge so many years ago and the builder did it another way.They took 6" pvc and connected about 70' together to pour downhill.When the inspector showed up for the footer insp and saw this (they had started pouring) he shut them down.When I got there the load was still self leveling.

Ah,the good old days

This was in Alabama

i remmenber my first boss telling the ready mix drivers, to make sure they had enought water to wash out, when they would ask him what kind slump did he want ???? LOL 

WOW !!! If this were ever to take place around here I would simply QUIT this Indutry.I would be sooo embarrassed about being a horrible sales person I'd sell the farm.Being frugal about pump prices are one thing but this photo ........I'll keep my comments to myself

They must have watched the same movie made by Bob Vila that some homeowner finishers watched, and yes, they admitted to it. SCARY

Row, row, row your boat... That's quite the operation..I'm sure that was a good 60\40 mix gotta love them DIY's
