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.

So does pouring concrete have some sort of exemption then?

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.

The kind who doesn’t work in a plant or on a construction site?

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.

Nope, I sit inside an air conditioned office or my house working every day. I let the GED grads pour the concrete.

Early commuter here, and I see concrete being poured at 5 am all the time in Texas.
