So the post is too long for this page. Check out my FB page for the full story. Neal Hollowell I’m the one with the squirrel picture
What did Trevor do to get put in the Fb Pokey?
And you look like that guy who played Tommy Carcetti in The Wire.

Most concrete plants already put retarder in starting around May1st or earlier if it is unseasonably hot in April. Drivers don’t keep super plasticizer in their trucks and that would have been the only chemical that “might” have made that concrete placable at 4 hours. But even at that point, the load should only have a one time addition of water. Re-tempering old concrete just makes it gum up faster and accelerates the process of heat of hydration.
My guess is that the load was re-tempered several times while it sat baking and again before every time they filled the buggy. Just to make it wet enough to come out of the drum and down the chute. That situation causes the concrete to set up within a couple of minutes after it hits the ground. It’s basically unplacable at that point.
If the driver had super p with him (which is unlikely) the concrete would have been okay if placed within 2.5 hours. The driver would have had to have 15-18 ounces per 100 weight of cement in a yard to be effective. Each yard would have had approximately 500 lbs of cementicious . Straight Portland cement or a 85%/15% Portland/Fly Ash or Slag ratio. It would have taken almost 900 ounces to chemically treat the slump on a 12 yard load. But again drivers don’t carry a couple of 5 gallon buckets of super p because this type of practice by a finisher is rare and they are trained to inform the finisher of the risk involved in choosing to pour old and multiple re-tempered concrete.
Super P, if ordered to be in the mix, is added at the batch plant. It simply increases the slump from a standard 3”-5” up to an 8” slump without affecting the water/cement ratio of the mix design. It is an admixture that finishers pay extra for in order to have a much more easily placable mix.
The only time you will see drivers carrying super p is if they are on a project that is long term (2-5 years) like a WTP where loads are routinely tested and inspected at a checkpoint before getting released to the point of placement. If they test below the lower slump limit, the testing company will allow them to add super p and re-mix and then test again.
But you never have drivers toting super onto a tingly dink residential patio job.

always pay for this type stuff with a credit card, so I can dispute the charge if there is a problem.
I did this with a contractor who F’d up big time. He kept asking for more money, even though I paid for all the materials, and half of the labor. He wouldn’t do any more work unless I paid him more, which was against our contract, and further, his work sucked. I said F it. Disputed a a fair amount of what I had already paid him and told him to get lost. Never heard from him again and the bank upheld the disputed amount.

The homeowner seems to be a seasoned real estate agent too. This is definitely not the type of decision making I want from a person I'm paying to walk me through the home buying process.
Is it reasonable to assume that team puppet found dipshit trevor through real estate agent contacts? How many sellers and buyers have had to deal with Trevor's bullshite after a recommendation from this circle?
I'm thinking that the two mexicans spreading the concrete are the sharpest tools in the whole story. We will know for sure when puppet man starts bitching about having to pay the subs.
I'm team hispanic day laborers. The rest of you frickers seem incompetent.

Yep, also GC is liable for all sub work. His argument that he sub it out so he’s no liable is insane. That’s literally the only reason he is a part of the transaction the. Is to assume liability for the work because the subs cannot on their own or the owner wanted a GC who is liable for the whole project instead of numerous different subs being liable to the owner.
Owner sues GC
GC remedies owner
GC sues subs
Subs remedy GC
If everything happened the way claimed and it’s truly the sub who fricked up, which by all accounts looks like not the case and the GC is actually who fricked up.
Either way if owner had verified the GC was licensed and insured prior to making the contract, he’d have actual legal and tangible means to remedy. Since the GC is neither the state licensing board can only basically tell the owner, sorry can’t do anything to help you, Take the guy to court.

No. Anyone can form a LLC and insurance isn’t a requirement to do it, but he is required to at least register as a contractor with the board and to do that, he’d be required to carry insurance and show proof of it.
I don’t find any Trevor, Kin’s, etc ever registered with the Board for Contractors.
Not if the work is under $7500.00.

You are required to register for any job over $1,500. You are required to be licensed for any job over $7,500

No. The home improvement registration in Louisiana is any job over $7500. The residential licensing requirements kick in at $75,000. There's nothing I've ever seen about $1500 and unless something has changed anyone can do work under $7500 without licensing or registration.

You’re right. Downvoting myself now.
Posted on 6/13/21 at 11:39 am to stout
never heard of the 1500, either. isn't the 7500 relatively new also?
