Nick, I here ya, the guy is in his 60's, he has been doing slabs for 40 years. He said that he does have back problems, imagine that.
Ken, Sounds like we are in the same boat. I almost had to do the same. I sold the old house and couldn't find an apartment due to Katrina, fortunately my Aunt took us all in for about 6 months until I could get an apartment.
Scott, I think that it was an old 150, it doesn't take much around here to be street legal. I was talking to his workers and they said that when you see a truck pull up that looks like Sandford and Son that it would be him.
When he did pull up one of his workers said to get out of his way because he doesn't have brakes and he wasn't kidding.
He had backed into a hole and got stuck and it wasn't from lack of traction, it simply didn't have enough power to get out of the hole.
They did do an excellent job on the slab though.
