Steve:
Just a note concerning some of the stumbling blocks we have encountered.
1. Waterproofing at basement addition was scheduled for today, June 18. It was a no-show. Delayed the backfill operation which allows us to finish blockwork at east end of north addition.
2. Need misc, steel to complete basement addition-bearing plates: Load below waist columns and angle iron for dock planks expected Thursday, June 20.
3. Steel drawings for layout of bearing plates seen to be a question mark for this job. Will not set one bearing plate without this approved drawing.
4. A mistake by the foundation crew may create a small problem for us in the brick veneer; a 2" soap makes the problem go away.
5. Steve, as I see it now we may have to pull out as early as the middle of next week; completion of more concrete footings along with steel complications are definitely the deciding factor.
6. Thank God for the grout hog. I just can't imagine this job without one. Even got the Rooster seal of approval. "Sheit kid, that damn thing gets right wif it"
Thanks, Les

Experience the Grout Hog® Advantage... with the Mud Hog
Attn: Greg
Since we purchased the Grout Hog our production, without a doubt has certainly gone up. Primarily we had a job that required grout every sixteen minutes and in four foot lifts. Normally that would seriously affect production. But with hours the Grout Hog can pound off the yards and filling the cores in C's good hands an experienced operator and shipping rate trickles up while the operator filled the cores.
Thank You
