And I have had to tear out concrete that didn't break at the
spec'd pressure after 28 days.  I didn't pay for it though,
the cement plant did.  They paid for the new concrete, the
labor, the disposal of the old concrete, everything.
When you do this to them a couple of times, they start paying
close attention to the mix and their quality controls at the
plant.  Whenever I order concrete now, I always tell them that
the testing lab will be there to take samples and do a slump
