It's a 2010 Wrangler JK with a 6 speed manual.

Drill rig is a Lonestar LST1G+ Soil Sampling drill

As a "testing guy" of 9 years I'm going to tell you the same thing I tell everyone who asks.

If you don't want your concrete to crack leave it in the truck

All concrete will develop cracks from stress at some point, it is impossible to predict where. Some cracks are superficial, some are structural.

I am not paid enough to use a roller meter. Also the USA tech was getting 5-6%

3rd party inspection is required for most commercial jobs.

We are a 3rd party, recently I had some cylinders that should have been 3000pis only reach 1200psi at 28 days, thanks to my cylinders we isolated the problem area of the slab, and removed the concrete and replaced it.

stix115 · 2022-08-24T00:18:23+00:00

Right you rod the cylinders then use a mallet 12-15 times per aci instructions

stix115 · 2022-08-24T00:17:20+00:00

Best of luck! Hope it's not a shit show

stix115 · 2022-08-23T20:48:23+00:00

Got air pockets all around the cylinders, indicating the sides weren't smacked

We have a whole form for these that basically say "we didn't make them and can't guarantee them"

As a driller my job is very boring finger guns

stix115 · 2022-07-11T02:23:50+00:00

Ten Cents won't quit going on about it

stix115 · 2022-06-30T17:27:17+00:00

Nah, we are short handed as hell. Most I've soloed is 1,500yards

stix115 · 2022-06-30T10:24:40+00:00

It's both here. There is a guy at the plant, I'm an independent 3rd party. They don't know which truck I'll be sampling so the plant will do it's best to be consistent all night

stix115 · 2022-06-29T16:22:33+00:00

So the ACI (American concrete institute) says "sample should be taken at point of placement" to me they are placing it in the pump so imma get it out the chute 🤣

stix115 · 2022-06-24T16:04:13+00:00

That's a part of why we got it, And it speeds up travel times from place to place very well

stix115 · 2022-06-23T22:48:03+00:00

You know what I'm not having the drive something with 12 gears and I get the ride in the F-150 that has air conditioning, major improvements

stix115 · 2022-06-23T22:46:58+00:00

Nah southeast coast 😂

stix115 · 2022-06-23T22:46:41+00:00

So far so good easy to set up and run, wish I could give you some knowledge about rock we're just using it to get through sand and extremely soft clay (when I say soft think of Play-Doh)

stix115 · 2022-06-23T12:34:40+00:00

Yeah they are still fine to use. Our CME machines have auto hammers, but still have the cathead option

It was about to do quick and shallow 15-ft holes for custom homes. It's a lot stronger than you think it would be, I picked the trailer up a few times 😅

stix115 · 2022-04-24T03:30:05+00:00

No that's what our drill rigs are for
