12. Old concrete finisher here

Mon Feb 18, 2013, 03:44 PM

Feb 2013

Been there and done that. One day we were doing a parking lot for the local hospital and this older gentleman drove about 50 feet across our freshly placed concrete and then when the boss hollered at him to get his blankity blank ass and car of there he got in the boss's face. I still don't know if the man ever knew what he did. Luckily for us the concrete was just freshly lain so we were able to remove the car tracks. When the sun is just right and if the concrete is wet you can still see the indention of where he drove.
