I have fought a few battles on hot days, it always seems that the floors I get are the worst case of conditions for moving concrete, so it takes way too long to unload the trucks.
I have a few pours coming up that are larger than normal, and we have to use wheelbarrows for one of them, I think I need to use retarder but I am not sure what to expect out of it.
Say I have 3 trucks coming, do you use it in all three trucks, or just the first two and pour the last truck without to even out the set time?
How much time does it typically buy on a hot day, can I expect an extra hour or two at least before having to get on it with the float blades?
I have the chance to bid on a 20,000 foot floor for late summer, and I really want to tackle it, the owner wants to pour it in 5 separate pours which would just happen to work out perfect for me since I don't have a ride on, but I know that even with 4,000 feet I will need to slow things down a bit, 2,500 is the biggest I have finished alone and we were hauling ass to get it in fast enough.
