Charles called the concrete company about the speed at which the concrete set up. Others had complained also, as well as their own guys. Charles has never seen such rapid set up, which was at least partially due to the heat.
The concrete company is now adding retarder to the mix to give more open time.
Perhaps they should pay the cost of cleaning up our footings too!
PS: Discovered that sugar can be used as a retarder for concrete. But too much can turn it into an accelerant. Pretty nifty.
