Chris,
Thanks for the note on the breakers you have available. That will be of interest in the future. Of the two companies that were bringing me concrete washout material, one of them, Knife River, bought reclamation equipment so they can process the unused concrete coming back from their trucks. So no more washout material coming from them.
But the other company, Aggieland Ready Mix, took a different approach and asked if they could just bring me live unused concrete coming back from a jobsite that might be a bit on the "hot" side, but still placeable. Since my ranch has two full time workers, I said yes to that, and we now keep forms set all the time to make a road. We have to drop what we are doing when the call comes from Bubba that they are sending a truck.
The road is now over 1,000 feet long and Bubba has asked me to name it the "Bubba Super Highway" which I have gladly done. I have received thousands in free concrete, but Bubba says it's a good deal for them too because they don't have to store and later load and transport all the washout material. Definitely a win-win situation for both of us.
