Serious concrete pour. This is not how I would have done it, but maybe
that's why I'm not a pro.

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.





The technical term in "place" and when concrete slump starts getting
down around 3 it doesn't really "pour". Most homeowners mix concrete
far too wet (high slump) and it will tend to be less strong when it
cures but for most things that is not an issue.
