Unfortunatly too many contractors count on that, so they do shit work knowing most people won't take them to court, and then their insurance will cover the billYou won't see a dime without going to court , and you won't see anything after going to court, but it will add to the cost.
Might as well resign to fixing it cheap uourself
id say 80% of concrete pours around here use a pump, about the only thing not using a pump is a short drive way/small slab, everything else is pumpedYep, not about margin, it is about whether or not you want a concrete floor or do without. When the only access to the foundation is a 15 foot wide driveway at the street, you pump. I think I was only on one job ever where we could have used a chute, the rest were not optional and had to be pumped. We also have never had the option to not have plastic under the slab unless it was hardscape. Point of all that is you can't pump low slump and the plastic prevents the subgrade from sucking out the water and yet, we still get nice finishes.
Same here or very similar.id say 80% of concrete pours around here use a pump, about the only thing not using a pump is a short drive way/small slab, everything else is pumped
Based on the standards of quite a few in this thread, I decided to not say that to slow down the butthurt bullshit, but it is true. Worse is most amateurs would have stayed after it because they don't know any better. These guys knew exactly who they were fucking and how hard. They need to be hunted down and chained in place, given a small hammer drill with a chipping bit until it is all broken up and in a dumpster. Then they need their asses kicked for doing shit work that they knew was shit work.ive been around/a part of several amateur concrete pours and have never seen one come out as bad the OP
my theory is thats the biggest slab that contractor has ever done and normally wouldnt do a job like that but since he had done multiple jobs for the OP already he said fuck it money in the bankSame here or very similar.

ACI has a limit, but it's been a minute since I read it. I want to say 10 ft max drop. putting a hose on the bottom of the chute is much betterer than a bucket.I always read that was a no-no, because the rocks will keep going to the bottom and you'll get an inconsistent mix...?
If that's not true, I'm gonna be pissed at the number of buckets I've run down a ladder...
I settled up with him, I deducted cost of grinding from his bill and I will pay for densifier, he is a good guy and agreed to that. All grinding contractors I've talked to are out until Jan so its sitting until then.OP, any updates?
In writing right? Invoice marked as paid in full?he is a good guy and agreed to that.
Is a lien release good enough for you?In writing right? Invoice marked as paid in full?
Absolutely,Is a lien release good enough for you?
Ghostshield is supposed to be really good.I settled up with him, I deducted cost of grinding from his bill and I will pay for densifier, he is a good guy and agreed to that. All grinding contractors I've talked to are out until Jan so its sitting until then.
For sure, I had my house ground and polished. 3 years later and I still find it.The dust from grinding seems to get everywhere. No matter how good the dust collection is.
It sure does, it is in every crevice and horizontal surface.The dust from grinding seems to get everywhere. No matter how good the dust collection is.
