When the wind blows, we don't pour.

     I thought this week was going to be our turning point, but our pour was cancelled because of sea conditions. We did manage to pour 11 yds. yesterday though.

So this is what a mixer looks like, I had almost forgot. This was Wednesday morning, tides only allowed us to pour one truck, 11 yds. of concrete. I keep mentioning 11 yds. because it is a full truck, and on this job concrete is costly to get delivered. If  the concrete supplier has added, lets say an extra $250 to each truck, for delivery charges, then if 10 were delivered, each yd. cost an extra $25. If  5 were delivered, then each yd. cost an extra $50. We don't waste any either....

we use every last bit, and this pour was close. It is not easy figuring 11, 22 or 33 yd. pours. You cannot end it wherever you want.

Well, this was Wednesday, and we were hoping for 22 on Thurs. and 22 on Friday, to start filling up this...

Thursday's 22 got cancelled, so we are going to try to get 33 on the island tomorrow. A big day for the island, more trucks in one day, than we have pour thus far.
