what happens to leftover concrete?
I had a large double thick plastic sheet for the trucks at the end
of the day to clean out and during the lunch hour. Depending on the job, it is eat on-the-fly or take a 30 minute. I did Two pour jobs the second was two slabs (one small - 20x30.) The other was 40x60 and it was gull winged with the head down and tail down. That is - the sides tipped outward, center ran towards the head and the tail end was a 18" ramp up to a 90 degree down slope. No water standing on that baby! Green house sits on it. The little ones were just before lunch. We worked through lunch... (I was straw boss) Martin On 6/8/2014 1:04 PM, Lloyd E.

I told him to just wash out in a low spot at the entrance to the barn. If I'd told him "No", he'd have had to haul it back. That's the code here. Local stuff varies. Some absolutely prohibit washing out on anywhere but at a disposal site or the mix plant. Some will let them wash out anywhere nobody cares. Lloyd |

Ever see those 2' x 2' x 6' stackable concrete blocks for retaining walls for gravel etc. Have you ever been looking at undeveloped land and walked up to a mound of dried concrete? |
