Concrete does not "pour"
I have only ever heard of concrete being poured. What else is it called?

Beats me, that's how I've always heard it referred to. We're going to pour the foundation
tomorrow.


I would like to know too what it is called when concrete is 'installed'.
Looked up pour concrete and pouring concrete and got hundreds of hits of
that.
I am having a carport garage installed now and I will try to remember to
ask the construction crew what it is called when the concrete is brought
out.


Back in my high school days, two summers were spent _pouring_
concrete - floors only - for smallish commercial/industrial
buildings. It was great pay compared to the other high-school jobs !

The kid who mowed my lawn in high school, even during the school year
iirc, laughed about his friends who worked at McDonalds. He made about
3 times what they did.

He was also very competent. When he read in the HOA newsletter that a
board meeting was at my house, he made a point to mow my lawn that day.
Most kids wouldn't even look at an HOA newsletter.

but long hard work days. It made me realize what I didn't want
to do for the rest of my life !

Right. Now he's VP of a Fortune 100 company. I wish I'd done so well.
