My crew and i have been waiting on 1 yard of concrete to be delivered since 9:30 this morning. Forms are set, rebar in place, wheel barrow at the ready,,, all the tools stretched out waiting on mud,, ,and we wont be able to get a truck before 12 45 to 1 pm. and people wonder why thier projects get delayed and go over on price. yesterday i waited around till after 5 pm on a gravel delivery, today we are waiting around on concrete, who knows what tommorrows delay will b e. all this time,, for a 16 ft long three ft wide sidewalk, that i could have had floated out and finished by now had we got mud at 10 am as planned.

darn i'm good,, mud was delivered at 1 45,, ( good guess huh) and we walked away from it at 330. not a bad pour went smooth, dryed to finish faster than i thought, ( was scared the humidity would be up and slow dry time, but was perfect,, all we like now is clean up and breaking the forms tommorrow.
