My father's old buddy said his family was pouring the foundation for a new hip roofed hay barn way back when. Being a small town their father knew the cement truck drivers who were building a highway bridge near by. That bridge cement is like the ultimate cement I guess and can only stay in the truck for a certain amount of time before it's worthless for the bridge project. Of course the pour has to be constant and trucks have to be queuing up and waiting constantly...many trucks went over due. So instead of it going to waste, the farmer had them pour the barn foundation (for free when nobody was looking). That poo poo was made of neutron stars and the old fart still laments how much work it was to work with it. E: A neighbor's very large barn addition was going to be built on a couple acres of fill they had dumped that spring. Luckily the owner was stopped from construction by a wise contractor: The fill had settled 2-3 feet over the winter. Today the new barn sits a few feet over and a few feet down from the old. I couldn't imagine how bad it would have been if they were connected. ANMAN fucked around with this message at 06:27 on Aug 19, 2011 |
