    What did you do????

    Fascinating. And just the other day they started a new twin home down the street from us using that same way of bringing concrete mix from a truck to it's destination. I'd not seen that before. Works pretty slick!

    In his frustration he's probably thinking, "must you document this?"
    Interesting photo story VP.

    I had to laugh. I guess they didn't want that documented, did they? And by the way, there are some nice reflections in the bottom of the canal!

    @ tapirgal - He knew I was there taking pictures... This crash was a minor glitch quickly fixed.
    Since the start of the works everybody on site has been very patient and helpful with my efforts.

    Almost ready? Oops.

    Maybe that cement wasn't quite mixed.

    Were they trying to say that the problems were because of you?

    Hmmm...

    The first 3 photos I was thinking, how lucky you are they let you watch them. Lots of workers get nervous when you watch them work.
    Then the last picture--maybe it IS bad luck to be closely watched.

    Great documentation! Fun to see how things progress.

    He probably wanted to ask you not to show anything about the error, whatever it was. :)
