You'd laugh at me. By the time they were done, to wash out involved a shovel, and I couldn't really spray out my drum. I was hauling ASS back to the plant to get rock, when I saw a pump at a bojangles, so I screeeeeched in there, and it was one of the pumpers who ran out of water (and mixedup saved the day) Told him my situation, and he just so happened to have a few gallon jugs of delvo on the pump, gave me a gallon, and I took the controls up with me, threw the delvo in and ran it back and forth about 10 times.
got back, washed out and got rock, drum looks none the worse for wear, thank god.

to answer the question.
There's a building going up that is supposed to be only like 15 stories tall, but it's a super high spec deal, and they were pouring the footings for the basement piers/posts/supports, whatever you call them. IT's the weekend and I cant think about concrete right now.

Those are the loads you just love to get, lord help you if dispatch doesn't tell you its a hot load or if you don't know how to read the mix design. The way I have dealt with those in the past is wet it up to 2 inches more than what it calls for refill the tank then stop before you get to the job, check it and add water before you pull up on the job site. I also used a trick and shut off the water valves to the sight glass so whatever water you added wouldn't show when you arrived and kept my fingers crossed. You always know when a rookie gets one of those jobs, their yelling at dispatch that their out of water and haven't even dropped a rock. Have fun  |
