howdy ya all
i was wondering how many of u guy have to use short trimmings when pouring walls are they the plastic with the rubber sock or do you do what we do and take an old chute cut it and weld a spout on it. do you use long trimming on basement floors and footers, or do you do it another way. and its possible i am stuck in the past. lol,

The driver's responsibility ends at the chute.  |

I prefer it to go into a pump. I hate doing walls out of the chute, it just makes a huge mess.

I love topping walls. It gets boring going to pumps all the time. I like to show off my mad skills every now and again.

Yeah, its a matter of pride (ego?), though. Besides, I'd rather stand by a pump and watch everybody else work. Less cleaning that way. |

Maybe you have one of those disorders where you're a neat freak?.... ....scratching head. Me personally sometimes the mud has a mind of its own. You never know when or where that mud will blow a hole.hehe |
