Foreman in Wichita said I was wasting time floating my edges twice, so I stopped and cost myself $800
Back in March a foreman on a 4,000 sq ft warehouse slab in Wichita said floating my edges twice was pointless and I should just hit them once and move on. I listened because he had 20 more years than me and the pour was running behind. Two weeks later the owner called about chipping all along the perimeter where the forms pulled away, and we ate $800 in patch work plus a callback. Turns out that second pass is what keeps the edge tight when the mix is hot and the wind is up. Any of you ever let a foreman talk you out of a step you knew was right?
