Uhhh which do I pick from.....
Have a couple while working construction, but I think the absolute worst was a day we were pouring a culdesac, this all starts a couple days before when I was cleaning the paver after a full day of pouring concrete. Was power washing the paver off to get as much of the concrete removed as possible and it's a deal where time is of the essence. To make it go faster I always try and keep everything wet and soft but it takes pressure to actually clean it. Anyway while lying on the ground some of the water dripped off of the pan and went into my right ear. I shook it out but didn't even think about what it could do.
Now on to the worst day, I pretty much had a massive ear infection because the lye in the concrete burned my ear canal. I was in pain (taking huge amounts of ibuprofen), it was hot and humid that day and the concrete was being dumped on the grade with a 3 yard excavator bucket (think two foot high mound of concrete) which we then had to puddle to around 6 inches. In all honesty I don't know how I made it through the day. Even though it was just a turn around it literally took us all day to pour because of trying to move massive amounts of concrete by hand so we could screed it off. https://www.google.com/maps/@42.5336129,-96.5487016,119m/data=!3m1!1e3 gives you a birds eye view of what we worked on that day. That was a Friday afternoon and I didn't work the half day the next day as my ear was literally bleeding. I went to a doctor to have it looked at and was given something to put in and "help" it and was then sent to a specialist to see if there was permanent damage.
And a little information about the road and it so you understand why we had to do this all by hand. The grade was made almost 100% from sand that was wet and compacted. It was also about 10 feet above the surrounding area. We could not have the concrete trucks on the grade as it actually REALLY messed things up so the only way to get the concrete in place was using the excavator and then shifting the pile around by hand.
