Overnight Concrete Pad Preparation

The Most Money I've lost on any one Job
What happens here
During the Menards project, the presenter was given a demanding deadline to prepare the entire interior pad of the superstore for concrete by the next morning, starting from raw dirt. To meet this challenge, and with his limited existing equipment (an excavator, a New Holland 180 skid steer, and a dump truck), he rented two Komatsu D41P dozers, which were outfitted with masts for laser grading. He, his father, and Tim worked continuously through the day and night. This intense effort successfully made the vast area concrete-ready by the deadline. The unforeseen success with their resourcefulness further angered the project supervisor, who saw it as a personal affront.
Goal: Faced with a tight deadline for concrete readiness, the presenter had to rapidly prepare a massive indoor pad, leading him to rent additional heavy machinery.
