That pour in Phoenix where the concrete truck showed up two hours late on a 105-degree day.
We had to add so much water to keep it workable that the slab ended up with crazy shrinkage cracks, and the client in Scottsdale refused to pay the final $3,500.

Sounds like a total nightmare.

Ugh, totally. It feels like so many things are designed to be a hassle now, from customer service phone trees to those weirdly complicated return policies. You need a flowchart just to get through basic stuff.

Man, that's brutal. I learned the hard way to put a weather clause in my contracts after a similar mess. Now if it's over 95 degrees and the supplier is late, we reschedule at their cost, not mine. Saved my butt last summer when a pump truck broke down. The client wasn't happy about the delay, but they couldn't argue with the contract.
