That's exactly it, it's about the total water. Jana's uncle has the right idea. You're not just adding water, you're swapping warm water for cold to slow the reaction down. The real problem is when guys add extra water on top of the mix design because they didn't plan for the heat. That's what kills the strength. A good batch plant can adjust the mix temperature before it even gets to you.

Yeah, we had the same problem on the Clearwater. Totally agree with @hannah_flores99 about a settling pit, that's what finally worked for us. Just a cheap dug-out spot to slow the water down before it hits the pump.

Imagine being the only person who's seen the city change from that exact height. You watched them tear down the old bank on 5th, pour the foundation for the new apartments, and plant every tree in that little park. Your crane is like a time-lapse camera no one else got to watch.

My uncle's dredge in Mobile Bay seized up from that exact habit. I mean, that's a really expensive way to get the memo.

Actually, @angelafisher, it's not so much a lighting situation as it is a complete lack of it. The whole corner by the main stage is just dark. They have these two small spotlights that keep flickering on and off.
