The pumper truck and the first concrete truck in position for filling the forms.

This truck is full of rejected concrete and ready to tip as you can see. A strap was attached between the top of the hopper and another truck and was kept taught while the driver of this truck inched forward back onto the drive.
The concrete pumper truck showed up at 8:00 am and began setting up while Jenny and I placed the last of the media conduit sweeps in the forms. The pour started at 9:00 and Joe's crew was wrapping up by 3:00 pm. One concrete truck leaving with a load of rejected concrete drove off of the compacted drive and sunk into the soft soil and was close to rolling. With help from another truck they were able to get him back on the drive without mishap.
We will see if our conduit survived the pour tomorrow when Joe's crew pull the forms.
