[@GRUBB-MUDD]

😂😂😂 me thinks?? I would be the same running the pump!! I’ll stick to finishing coz a pump truck operator can make your job easy or seriously painful😂😂 plus finishing hot mud is an art 😊

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

100% agreed. Some guys just have the hand/eye for it…. and others (me) just don’t 😂😂😂

[@greghughey9738]

21 years in, still don't know wtf to do as far as finishing.......you bet your ass I'll get pumped ou tho 😂😂

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

I’m the same Greg. Seen millions of square feet get placed and finished, but still couldn’t do it worth a shit myself. It’s a born gift/burden (not unlike running a big-boom 😂😂😂

[@greghughey9738]

Been on this Microsoft job in Southern wis for a bit, no phones allowed. Easiest shīť I've pumped in a while. Will grab a vid on Monday, 63z doing vertical work. Stay safe brother

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

How are you liking that 63 Greg? We just listed our 58Z for sale (hoping to replace it with a new 56Z).

What a disaster!! Hot concrete and shorted from the plant, torrential down pours, a bunch of green horns, old equipment.. Man what else could go wrong!!? But, i guess they say good attitudes can fix anything!! Pump on my friend, pump on!!

Hey Scott I've been to finish your form center for most of my life and let me tell you watching KZbin amateurs not have knee pads on you make my knees really hurt

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

Couldn’t imagine trying to do this kind of workout knee pads (and this is coming from me, whom only runs a mag float perhaps a handful of times per year).

Here in Dublin IRELAND me and another pump Guy did about 150 Foot of walkways for a friend of his from Hopper's of concrete over the past year anytime we are near his place we let him know when we are in his area and he brakes out a bit of the old 50+ year old stuff and we pour a Hopper full and it makes our lives easier not having to drive almost an hour in traffic back to the yard to washout and we are helping a friend out aswel

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

Love it!!!! Same deal here. I’ve been by another 3 times to donate hoppers full of mud to his Italian pizza oven which is being constructed in the back yard. I get paid out in a lifetime supply of pies!!!!!

Was just over here at my buddy’s place to watch the game. A painful reminder every time it is that I traverse that treacherous portion of sidewalk en route to the front entrance of his home. I’m thinking extra salt this winter take could only improve the “finish” 😂😂😂
