i hate that stuff takes so long to build.  why?  seems like there is hardly anyone really working on the project.  hire an army.  have them really get to work and knock this thing out in a weekend, etc.

I like when I drive by construction sites like this and they have what I would guess is their expensive tools or something hoisted up with the crane or forklift or whatever the tall thing is so nobody can steal them/it (see pic 1...apears they have someone's golf clubs and pull cart up there in this instance).

Usually, the main hold up is concrete. Take a long time to cure. That and rough ridin' inspectors.

[pissclams]

so the culprit is concrete?  we should hire some jackass to sit around and cure concrete all day then.  or for that matter, have one of the idiots in the business school invent some concrete that cures in 1-2 minutes maximum.  if the concrete cures in > 2 minutes, you get your money back that was paid for the concrete + a 20% bonus on top of that.  also, you will get your name on a wall-of-fame at the concrete factory of people who's concrete took > 2 mins to cure.

i did some rough calculations and calculated that approximately 2 people (may be actually 1) per year may have concrete that > 2 mins curing time based upon the calculations i did about the concrete invention.

also want to say that i'm not surprised it's the concrete.  every story i've ever read about it tells me not to trust it.

One time I helped sdbro put up a new mailbox post and we used this stuff called quick-rete or something.  maybe ksu should look into it.

i've toyed around a little in that stuff.  don't even think i'd build a squawk bbhoops facility with it, to be honest. 

solution is the new sub 2 min concrete from Calvin Hall.

Had a teach working on >2min concrete when I was at KSU.  Don't think it ended up well.  Big Concrete prob torpedoed the effort.  Big Concrete won't stand for new designs and new companies messing up the current corrupt system of having to wait for concrete.  The waiting is where they make their money.  Time is money.

We should have the NBAF people run over there and work on it. I mean, we all know NBAF won't be open for like 3 years anyway...so why not help out with this?

This sounds like big pharma

[pissclams]

holy crap just had a different idea for Calvin Hall...  thoughts on sub 1.5 min concrete?

[Emo EMAW]

Eventually Big Concrete will just sell preformed slabs cheaper than 1.5 minute concrete.  Don't you just love capitalism?

Loads of dumbasses in this thread, the concrete needs to age like a fine wine. JFC its like some of you want a boonesfarm facility and not a chteau margaux 95. Smh

hhmm, yup another concrete noob has been outed.  concrete gets weaker over time.  aging it only ages the facility and makes it so it's going to need to be demo'd sooner.

not only that, sub 1.5 min concrete is said to be the strongest building component known to man.  not sure why we would use anything but sub 1.5 min crete.

Try getting someone to actually deliver 1.5min conc.  Big Concrete owns all the trucks.
