My REED B-50 preformed outstanding. 6hr hours of pumping and she just purred..

I like seeing  different aspects of concrete work come together. 

This guy (the owner) brought a shot creter over from California and about 10 Skater guys from Minneapolis  to build the park at his cabin in a small town up here,  party spot! Good idea; spend money on what makes you happy!

Well, first off the compressor they rented didn't run ..  and back up was 1.5 hours away. so i improvised my wheelbarrow honda compressor hooked in tanem with another from a neighbor and we shot the first 1.5 trucks at low pressure (which i was used to). Then the rental place showed up with a replacement compressor and he used great pressure ,wow.. I never shot that high but i'm just the pumper.

It worked very well and i learned much. What higher air pressure does flatten the surface and bond even the cold joints. However the higher air pressure made me nervous.
