[TowerTalk] Concrete prices

[Patrick Greenlee]

In some venues they call it a water reducer-plasticizer or even just water 
reducer.  Whatever they call it it has a short pot life so have it added 
after the truck arrives not at the plant.  It works very well and makes an 
otherwise very stiff mix quite runny and easy to pump or self level almost. 
It does not reduce the ultimate cure strength.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all.
