    5       While not fresh, if workable, then Pour. If more workability is needed, add water. Note, strength will be less and increase chance of cracks in the future. If the total cure time is too much, the load can be sent back to the plant to be part mixed in with flat work, e.g. side walk, where less strength is needed. If concrete has too much water, it can fall apart later via crumbling chipping and cracking.     Turn On Mixer, Pour Fresh Mix
