WHo is the G.C. on the job, that is a pretty good size job and you're in that red clay I remember all so well on that North Brunswick subdivision I worked on as an operator for C. Caruso, I ran a D8 pushing scrapers, that red clay took an hour to clean off the tracks and sure warmed you up on a cold day.
They are lucky, almost topped out on the brick and no temp heating needed.
The last big masonry job I was on, they(masonry sub) bought bag mix from that big supplier in Stormville N.Y., I have a bunch of photos, always pallets of bags, now those large bags, are they the fad now, hoist em with the Lull (telescopic handler) and it drops what the mixer capacity is, then add water ?
That's a lot of bricklayers to tend to, they must start early, like all the contractors I worked with in NYC, to make sure when those "bricky's" stepped foot on the scaffold, the mud and bricks were ready to go.
One ten story building I worked on in '02-'03 the masonry outfit, Arthur Del Savio, still had sand delivered and mixed by hand into the mixer. The mortar is tested for compressive strength samples are taken daily, mortar cubes for testing, all part of NYC D.O.B. controlled inspection requirements. I thought it odd for such a large masonry outfit to still be shoveling into a mixer.
