When my sister was building the new house,she wanted me there for the footings & the walls.The footings were done perfect.

The concrete for the walls on the other hand was wet.
I told the driver's of 2 trucks to never this pour,just go back to the plant.
They argued with until one of the company's senior driver's recoginized me &came over & told them " don't Argue ,he know's what he is talking about,it is Too wet"
.
Nothing worse than a driver/truck that shows up with a 4 corner slump because he heard it was only for a wall.

I watched a whole industrial park go up in no time using the tilt-up process. It was like building a house of cards.
