They say nothing handles like a rented car; nothing cuts like a hired demo saw.
In cutting 30 blocks I probably used half a blade with plenty of water flow, the pool is rendered over pump concrete that’s been a really hot mix - got lime burns from the slurry where it caked thickly on my arms and legs. Also some N12 bar or similar in here around the top perimeter. Machine running time was about 2:45 over a three-and-a-hair hour period onsite. So, good productivity but yes, heavy wear costs over the whole of job.
Credit to Kennards for “tidying” the invoice down to four hours and also not charging extra on the blade wear. Lot of equipment in the shop today, as if business is down a bit for them.
