(04/24/18) New Die-Cast Concrete Pump Truck from Menards!

Not a cement pump truck?  

What, me worry?

Impressive piece of construction equipment.  I wonder if the boom is die cast?

Sweet looking truck! You guys a Menards sure know how to make it hard to save money ! I sure hope a lot of this stuff is still around when I finish my train room!

Rays company  is first class ,just like this new concrete pump truck !

Very nice truck! Brother, the train room isn't finished yet? Probably letting a job interfere with the really important stuff in life! LOL

Brother, the job is the only thing making it happen! But when your only working a few hours a week it takes a lot of weeks to build it! I am almost done with the outside!

No Loans for this project! LOL

That's the only way to do it! Proud of you Bro! Looking forward to my visit and staying in my special room next to the trains, a picture of John Menard over the bed! Or, is it Dad's picture? LOL

Question for Mark the Menards man? How long until we see your next freight car?

I gotta ask. Is this Ray’s firm named in honor of Ray Szmanda Sr., aka Ray the Menards Guy, the (now-retired) longtime spokesman in TV and radio ads? I know Ray, 91, is still with us. I think he would be honored.

It is indeed! In fact, the die-cast arm reaches an impressive 32 inches above the ground!

Thanks for asking!

Jim,

Good catch! We have definitely used Ray's name a few times before. For those who remember the commercials, he was the face of Menards for many years.

OUTSTANDING!!!!  We now have all the necessary equipment needed to start construction on the BREWERY.  Just waiting on Menards to get all the necessary permits and licensing.
