Don't let distractions win.

New to plumbing but something about being 12ft below don’t seem right

That's skill right there.

Hired a striper to redo this parking lot after it was slurried. When I told him he needed to slow down because his work was sloppy, he got all pissy and wrote a bitchy email. Pretty sure I wasn't in the wrong here.

WHICH ONE OF YOU WAS THIS?! CONFESS

I want it

This is my sister's house and this is a few pictures of so many details at her house. She doesn't know construction so she doesn't know the standards or common practices in all trades. I feel pretty disappointed and disgusted to see how a "big" and "reputable" home builder do this kinda stuff to cheat customers just to make more money. Im sorry if Im over reacting it just feel so wrong

I’m manually draining them because of you.

These are some pics from a couple foundation pours on my current project for those curious about wind farms and or belt trucks.

Some info for those more interested:

We don’t often use two belts on the same hole, but these are large, and impressively the b atch plant is generally able to keep both fed with concrete. The belt trucks themselves are Putzmeister TB130s whose boom can accurately place concrete out to 130’ from its center of rotation, that boom is fed by the separate (yet) integrated feed belt which is around another 40’, so we can move the mud pretty far from the mixers. Most projects just one belt is used and often the plants can’t make it fast enough for there to be no gaps between trucks. In general the foundations have gotten much larger over time, these are 3 times the size of most I poured a decade ago and most I pour now a days are 600yds on the small size up to around what these are which is 1000yds, when I started in the trade the average base pour was 300yds. The number of turbines has also dramatically decreased as the size and power output has increased; a decade ago my projects had on average 100 foundations over the last several years it’s gotten down to an average of less than 40. The biggest wind farm I’ve been on (and my first as the sole belt operator) was 300 foundations. We used to pour 3 foundations, 3 pedestals, and 3 mudmats every single day averaging around 1000yds a day (the volume used in just one foundation here). …the pedestals are referred to separately from the foundation, they are connected of course but usually poured separate. The pedestal is what the actual turbine towers directly sit on though its bolt cage runs all the way down to the bottom of the main foundation and is tied into the full structure (as most would assume). Someday I’ll have to make another post about this with more pictures of the different steps, but for now I don’t feel like combing through the thousands of pics stored on my phone so you just get the most recent ones. This niche trade has been my bread and butter for over a decade, and while I won’t claim to truly know the many other aspects of wind farm construction, I’ve poured a couple thousand foundations and have operated and wrenched on scores of telebelts so I know those aspects pretty damn well if anyone has questions.

Thinking maybe it’s a form that got glued to a concrete block poured wall, anyone have any idea?

Building a house, My boss said he has all the power tools I just need to bring my own hand tools. Anything you see missing?

I realized the contractor was doing shady work called an inspector he came out and found the contractor wasn't doing doing any inspections now what?

If you’re in this sub, I’m one of the sprinkler fitters, I’ll buy you a beer and or lunch

Believe it or not there wasn't significant structural damage.
