Pro tip: watching crews finish slabs in Phoenix for 3 weeks changed how I handle hot weather pours
I worked alongside a crew in Phoenix last August and the difference in how they handled a 95 degree pour compared to what I was used to back home was night and day. They started at 4am sharp and had the slab floated by 8, while my old crew would have still been setting up forms at that hour. The big thing was they kept a shade tarp over the mix and added ice to the truck, which I had never seen done on a residential job before. Their finishing windows were about 15 minutes instead of the 45 I was used to, so they moved fast and never once had to fight a crusted edge. Three weeks of that taught me more than a season back home ever did. Has anyone else picked up tricks from working out of town like that?
