Connections completed

The last link of hose, the furthest from the truck, has been cleared and is ready for hookup.
The man on the right has control of the pump. Notice the radio remote control strapped around his neck.
No yelling necessary. Direct command to the pump.

The patio concrete pour has begun. Bright and early, in the cool of the day, seven crewmen showed up along with pumper to spread a necklace of cement around the house. It will be a two-toned stamped job, the curvy, sexy forms are set, not a straight line to be found, and the mud is running smooth.
There was a hiccup this morning, the hose was kinked, but that's been straightened out. . . in two languages.
When the crew is laughing, you know it's all good.

Dye Job: Crewman adds dye to the cement to mix the entire batch before it gets pumped.
The cement truck arrived at 6:30 a.m. Pacific.
