Quick story... The station owner was coordinating all of the sub-contractors for his New-to-Industry 76 station against the recommendation to have a GC organize all of the efforts. He had scheduled us to begin his imaging (Canopy Fascia ACM and 76 vacuum-formed logos) along with pouring new footing & erecting a 20' tall MID (Main Identification) pylon sign. We stopped by the previous Friday and saw the entire lot was still rebar and concrete forms! I let him know we really can't begin until the lot is paved... After listening to his frustrated tangent, I compromised and agreed to excavate and pour the MID footing as per engineering. As it turns out, water table was an issue here and we had to get a trash pump to keep the hole dry long enough to wait on the pre-pour inspector. He had the lot paved, we came in to finish the image - and all was well.
