[TowerTalk] Mixing concrete for a base

[Blake Meinecke]

Straying from original hand mixing....  But hiring a pump is even easier, and not that much more expensive.

A tip I discovered:  Hire the pumping service BEFORE ordering the concrete.  My pumping guy had some sort of agreement with the local concrete Co., so he was able to get the concrete at a discounted rate....  They then take over coordinating as well, so one less thing to worry about.

Usually  if you have the concrete delivered they will wait about an hour or
less  (ask them for their waiting time) while you wheelbarrow it to the hole
and  charge waiting time which is expensive after that time


Generally wait time is 10 minutes per yard...at least in FL and  HI.
