why the lines in the concrete? is it just decrocative? or expansion joints. looks like theres no broom marks in it either. A nice job thought. Now I see why tuition cost so much LOL!!!!

larry@stinescorner · Dec 6, 2010

the lines are decorative, RUGTERS has a special scoring pattern and it must be a float finish, not broom finish both of which take more time to do.

Hay Larry. Which took longer, pouring and finishing the Crete or putting up the fence to keep the idiots out. Doesn't seem to be much common sense out there any more. Half the problem in America today. Lawyers sue and win because their clients are stupid. Didn't mean to make this an issue Larry. Nice looking job. Thats what My son did until his back Screwed up.

BELEIVE it or not., the college kids will talk on their phone and walk right into wet concrete, it has happend to us many times, once Iwas bullfloating a kid walked passed me stepped in the wet cocrete,then proceeded to yellat me!

JayinNY · Dec 6, 2010

Ya, you read my mind, dident want to start trouble though! What ever happened to people having common sense these days? They just run around like drons! so consumed in usless nonsense.

6 bag mix or 7? looks white and hard from the pics.

It is 4500 lb that is what they call for today we had 1% accelerator added to help it set up faster In the summer with the 4500 lb mix we really have to hustle to cut all those joints in before it sets up

Hey Larry: That you super-visen?

Looks like you did a good job. Kinda like a "GOOD" concrete(NOT cement)job as that's what we inspect cept for drilling them shallow holes!
Leave the deep hole for the NUTS.

Larry, you are now the go-to guy for any of us that are planning a concrete project!

JayinNY · Dec 6, 2010

Do you still use concrete mix with the fiber in it? I remember about 20 years ago they came out with fiberglass or something in the mix to help make it stronger. You could see the mesh or hairs in the mix. Maybe it long gone now.

WOW 4500# for side walk! The subbase looks pretty impressive also. Must be getting ready for the all new overweight collage students that are now enrolling. We have frost in the ground now and thin snow cover. Flat work now requiring cover blankets, pre pour and winter aditives and blankets after finishing, uge. Time to find inside work.

larry@stinescorner · Dec 6, 2010

the sidewalks are 5 ft wide and get vehicle traffic sometimes and snow plows

larry@stinescorner · Dec 6, 2010

we put wire in ,then you wouldnt need the fiber ,but that is still available, it is called fiber mesh additive.

Nice work Larry!

That's gotta be time consuming with those joints in just every-other block. Doesn't it just crack through the un-jointed sections eventually?

Several years ago we poured(I can't remember how many thousands of yards of) sidewalk in a new mixed-use development on land that had been an old timber mill. It was all lointed on 2x2 grids. I got REEEEAAAL good runnin a jointer on looooong handles. Ours was all broom finished.
Kinda glad I haven't had the chance to use those skills in a while.

Nothing will stop a bicycle faster than freshly poured concrete. We had a young man zip around a barricade and dive off into a fresh pour with a 10 speed. It stopped his front wheel,and threw him and his books over the handlebars and face first into the crete. We got him out and hosed him and his books and bike off and he went on his sorry way. He even had crete in his mouth and shirt pockets.

Nice looking job Larry!

" the sidewalks are 5 ft wide and get vehicle traffic sometimes and snow plows "

5 ft. wide ??? Looks to be 10 ft.

larry@stinescorner · Dec 7, 2010

yes your right that one is the main sidewalk and it is wide ,many of the sidewalks there are 5ft

Anyone who would pour concrete in a public place and not put a fence around it is delusional about the intellect of their fellow man.

I understand Rutgers has quite an Ag museum, did you take it in while you were there?

larry@stinescorner · Dec 8, 2010
