we form and pour these pads for electric transformers and switch stations that are being put around the university, We have a large section of sidewalk to take out and replace monday,but we had to do a small piece friday,because we could not block two entranceways in one day. I thought you might like to see how much fence and how much we have to cover the piece of sidewalk to keep students from writing in the fresh concrete

Here in Philly, I was walking to crew practice one morning a little before 6 and saw a guy just sitting in a chair by some fresh sidewalk... Turns out he had been hired to watch the sidewalk while it dried so people wouldn't write in the fresh concrete. I think that's pretty sad. I don't really understand it, but apparently a lot of my peers must think it's fun to deface stuff. Just like the morning I came out to drive home for Thanksgiving break to find someone had car kicked my door and put a nice dent in it... At least they missed the window.

(quoted from post at 20:53:50 10/22/11) keep students from writing in the fresh concrete

I don't see the keyboard or touch screen. How can they write in it :? More likely somebody with initials behind their name would walk through it.

You really should place a notice saying something like: "Hydrated portland cement with aggregate. UNSAFE TO TREAD"

I joke because I work at a University. I was waiting for an elevator and chatting with a BSW (building service worker aka janitor) and she said b--- s---. I chastised her and said the proper term around impressionable minds was male bovine excrement. She laughed but the students had a very puzzled look on their faces.

When my wife was little her dad poured a new stretch of sidewalk at their house. While he worked she rode her bike, when he finished he told her to be sure she didn't ride her bike in the new concrete. So when she came to the new concrete she dutifully got off her bike and carried it through the concrete to the other side and continued riding.
