Well, today another nail was placed in the coffin of common sense.
Our illustrious highway department and I just had an absurd argument that went something like this:
HD: You can't use class F concrete on hand formed curb. Class F is for slip forming, and the book requires class A for non slip formed curb.
Me: But class F meets all of the specs for class A. In fact it has more cement in it, so it's patently better. Plus it's more expensive. I just don't want to waste 2 cubic yards of concrete I've already bought.
HD: But the book says you use class A.
Me: The curb right next to it is made of class F. The only difference is it was shaped by a machine instead of by hand forms.
HD: But the book says class A.
Me: I need a drink and a vaccination in case your willful stupidity is contagious.
