Hot water, no NCA

Our friday pour for the bank was super. It is going to look better than the original we did years ago. The funniest part was the crew from the company we subbed this job from. They were there doing a pour on the street. They were waiting on their mud when ours came. We poured out and I started floating the edges. They stood there with their mouths hanging open, staring like a bunch of new calves at a fence. I guess they have never seen a woman finish concrete... It was funny. Made me laugh. Of course, they are also our competition. They only do brick strips because that it the only set of tools they have. The extent of their pours is a strip 16" wide, by however long... they couldn't do a driveway or a patio without some major problems. Bill and I have been doing it long enough that we can do a 1000 foot pour and not have it kick our asses. It would be very amusing to get some chairs and watch them try to stamp a driveway. HA! Anyone want to bring popcorn??
