[QUOTE="InDaShop, post: 677359, member: 1295"] Saturday: We laid mat all-day, Barco fused pipe all day, then we had a F'ing flat on our loader. spent 5 hours down waiting on an emergency repair truck that would drive through flood water. Waters had substantially been pumped down by the Sienna permanently installed pumps. No emergency in sight, we called it that night at 9:45pm Everyone exhausted and at each others wits end. We was DONE!
