Bret & Jewel's New Driveway

I heard that they were getting a new driveway but knew less about concrete than I did. I showed up and played 'Inspector'. I asked questions like who is supplying the concrete? He didn't know. He thought Monroc. They've been gone for 10 years. How many bag mix did you get? Did you order 'air entrainment' in the mix? Did you order 'calcium chloride' for the lazy man's way to add heat during the cure? I had to call Metro to find out the answers. He almost had his buddies pick up their tools and leave. He agreed to bring his blankets tomorrow before the freeze hit. It has to be protected from freezing for at least a week. He is a laborer that got layed off and went driving around looking for bad driveways. If you don't know concrete, know a contractor! All I know is enough to be obnoxious. Oh! He didn't order air entrainment, but Metro knew enough to add it. It keeps concrete from breaking in it gets salt on it.
