All the kiddos are back to school. Summer's over.

I sure you guys had better weekends than I had.

My kids don't start until Friday. Their opening year parent teacher is on Thursday.

We poured a 40 yard grain bin slab on Thursday. I spent a good chunk of Friday trying to get everything straightened out.
The contractor tried to blame it on us but I did everything right.
Basically once my trucks left, so did they.
They didn't even finish the top, it looks like shit. You can see their boot marks in it and the honeycombing (the holes in the sides) are terrible. On large slabs like this there are some but nothing you should be able to put your finger through.

I think every school that hasn't already started around here did today.

Is there any way to fix that or is it just fucked?

My poor baby is sore today. I feel kinda guilty about leaving her to head to work. I have to take her for a cast tomorrow.

Our schools start late here. The kids get 3 days off in October too but they go basically to the last day of June.

Well, in this case it's getting capped with a cork top, an air dryer then a grain bin so it should be fine as long as they made it level. If it was a garage pad, a patio or a driveway, it would be chiselled up and re poured.

That sucks. My kid and I had heat stroke on Saturday both of us slept close to 14 hours.

There's a lot of talk about making schools around here go the full year. They would breaks more spread out through the year. I gotta say that I'd be ok with it when mine starts school. Not like I would get the summer off with her.

I wondered if it would have to be redone. That would suuuck

I decided that next summer I am taking a week off and taking my kids on a trip whether Jim comes or not. I'm tired of having to miss stuff because of work. I worked 80 hours+ last week.

We've never had to re do a job because it was done poorly on our part. This is the 4th we've had where a contractor has done poor work and tried to blame it on us, both grain bin pads that were poorly finished were the same company. I refuse to bring them anymore

They put a splint on her and gave her pain meds. She was able to sleep last night. I wanted to sleep, but the stress of it all caught up with me. I watched her fall and that look on her face of sheer pain freaked me out.

Bwahahaha
