There’s no way they can start at 5:30 am right? Had giant concrete trucks out there and idiots yelling and honking horns that early this morning.

We’ve started major concrete pours at 1-2am depending on weather.

Hey at least they’re not fricking your wife.

You have to pour concrete early in the morning during the summer to avoid those afternoon showers. It's amazing how bad rain can f up a slab.

Gotta start before it gets too hot or concrete will harden too quick

Crews pour the entire house slab in one day. Quit being such a Karen.

The driveway, sidewalks, patio, etc. may be poured at a later date depending on how many workers are doing the pour and finishing.

You're talking 2-3 mornings out of your daily routine, deal with it.

Maybe look up your local noise ordinance?

Concrete pours early in the morning are very common in the summer due to temperature.

Don't be a dick dude. Pouring concrete you have to work around the weather. Cut these dude's some slack its not like they pour concrete everyday.

You ever try to pour concrete during the day in the summer?

You start early.

Do you live in a subdivision that’s was under construction when you bought? If so you gotta keep the complaints to a minimum until they are done building. I know a guy who is always complaining about construction trash and debris in and around his yard. He moved into a house that had another house being built right next to him. Asked him wtf he expected and he thinks construction workers are gonna make sure no sawdust crosses the property line when the houses are only 3 feet from each other.

Did you try reporting them to the CONSTRUCTION BOARD?

Standard concrete pour practice. They'll be gone in a day or two, Karen.

If they don't want the slab to ruin they will start at 5:30 or before in this heat.

Eh, pouring concrete is like a one time thing. It's not like they're partying every night or cutting grass weekly. Horrors!

You should have went out there and instructed them to halt that concrete pour.

I've had bridge deck pours here in Louisiana during the summers starting at 1 AM because of the heat and I had to have the concrete plants put ice in the the mixing drums so that it would not cure before the finishers could finish the concrete.

pretty good chance your slab was poured at that time as well so you should just get over it and move along.
