I think at times the company I work for has some crazy ideas but this one topps it off.  I was a standby for the crane and bucket. The pour was a radius wall 12 foot high that they had to pure slow. Total yardage was 38 yards one 10 yard load per hour. Just cleaned on the pump and watched the pour crew fight with the bucket , hopper and elephant truck for four hrs. Easy money for me but sometimes I wonder who comes up the crazy ideas.

That's indeed one of the most lame things i've ever heared.. You stand by for when the crane breaks down?

Hey.. If the crane and bucket doesn't work.. we can always try to improvice with a CONCRETEPUMP ... hahahahaha

@ dipstick

yet we might as well pay for a pump and just not use it since we have a crane, yea we know the pump would be better but we always use the crane. LOL

Wow what a joke usually the crane will standby incase the pump breaks down sound like they did it bakwards

hey just take the good with the bad, not every day you get payed to observe and clean you rig
