Payback is B_____th

Been working on this retaining wall for the past few weeks. Things take me a while as I work alone. Took a cut out of this hillside with my backhoe and dozer. Built the form for the footing, 20 “ thick, 7 feet wide, 50 feet long. Placed and tied all the rebar. #8 horizontal bars at 12” o. c. #7 vertical bars at 12” o. c. #4 cross bars at 12” o. c. Poured the footing yesterday morning, had one of my boys come and help for that. 24 yards, 4000 psi, ¾” stone, slump rate of 4.

In the 60's here today, felt like 75 in the sunny side where I was working. Still pouring concrete, two more pours this week. Should be over 500 yards by the time this job is done.

Two machine sheds with 12" diameter poured columns and 12 " thick board embossed walls, a bridge rated to handle a loaded 10 wheeler, lots of retaining walls, the largest being a 16' 6" wall on top of a 2 foot thick by 8 foot wide footing at 90' long, more columns, 16" diameter at 12' tall and lots of poured stairs. Suppose to be an observatory at the end of the project that will blow that 500 yard number up substantially. Here's a shot of the end of one of the walls, look close at the end and you can see the year I poured it. That one was a 54 yard pour for just the wall. Me and 2 other guys. 4500 psi, slump of 4, vibrate everything. Lots and lots of steel. The guys at the plant call this the Concrete Fortress.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
