When we moved to our current location and built a bunker silo, I remember pouring 45 yards of concrete in one day..
"Yes, 8 trucks"

What a goat rope. We had no idea what we were getting into. The high that day was 101 degrees.
It never got floated.. Lol.

My brother did concrete for 15-20 yrs. He is very very good; built parking garages, highways, bridges, repair on anything, etc. He was so good, the company he last worked for contracted him out to other companies to get stuff done. Other companies would call and want to borrow him for special projects.

Between the many yrs of concrete and a bad wreck at a young age he is physically broken down. I would ask him to help or supervise but he is "finished". He tried to help a crew a few months ago. He bent down and couldn't get back up. Laid there for about an hour as the crew had gone to lunch. They still call him for help, but he just cusses them out and says, "What !@#$% part of I am finished do you not understand? Don't call me ever again to do concrete!!!!" I hate seeing him in the shape he is in. He and I are the closest in age and grew up together before the other brothers came along.

A large concrete pour with no help showing up finished my Dad's career in building/remodeling. He never fully recovered from finishing the whole thing by himself. There wasn't dependable help back then either.
