    Just taking an unofficial POLL: MBTS Aaron as "Sweet little feller you want to put in your pocket and call him buttercup".
    Or Dirt Perfect Mike as "Perfectionist big dad micromanager you want to have run your job sight and call him Michelle."
    Let the numbers show the true will of the people...
    P.S. I erased my vote so it doesn't skew the numbers... so cast your vote.

    As a teenager I worked as a helper at a construction site prepping footers for pouring concrete. This was for an apartment complex and after about 2 dozen foundations were poured and the block was laid the surveyor quit. Turned out he had messed up the measurements of all the foundations by 6 inches too narrow. Learned some new words from the head of the project.

    Every time I hear that tune at 34:40 it makes me wanna slick my hair back with some Palmaid, put on my City Slicker dancin' shoes are break out in James Brown dance moves. Definitely MoTown Motor City music.
    Awesome job Mike.
    No crew in America coulda done a better job than your crew of misfits lead by the legendary slacker MBTS.

    In my younger days I had the opportunity to work for a man that taught me so many things about the excavating job. I really appreciated his wisdom an sharing his knowledge.
    it really influenced me. as an operator. I gave him much respect for that. I have to say you remind me of that man. Thank you for your teachings. By the way here at home we call people like Aaron Contraries they do all the wrong things for the right reason. Bless you guys

    Surprised no short rebar spanning across the footing. Also a vibrator makes moving and leveling the mud really easy. Love the baby float. Sure beats hand floating. Our pour today was probably close to 100m3 (Canada) in 2.5hrs with a 120 foot pump.
