Go Slinkster!!!!!!
Great to see you back slinging slurry. Wooo! Hoo!
Slipforming can go faster and easier at first... but the higher the wall gets, the harder the work becomes hefting buckets of wet slurry to fill the forms.
If you can find a cheap salvage agricultural grain auger to pump slurry from your mixer to the top of the forms it could save you massive amounts of bucket labor as the wall gets high. You might ask around with any farmer friends if they know of a cheap used one that you could get. Wouldn't hurt to keep an eye on Craig's list either. (just don't get tricked into buying a small toy scale model grain auger... lots of those get advertised too.)
