Construction Mug: We Poured the Concrete. Then Found the Missing Conduit.

This funny construction coffee mug is printed on both sides with “We Poured the Concrete. Then Found the Missing Conduit.” It is a warm, lightly cheeky gift for the contractor, the site super, the electrician who always asks about the rough-in or the friend who has spent a career on job sites.

The joke, for anyone who has not worked on a construction site: the conduit is supposed to go in before the concrete does. Once the slab is poured, there is no easy way back. Every builder has heard about, or lived through, the day somebody noticed one pour too late.

What it is:

A 15oz white ceramic coffee mug with the original Truweli artwork, design printed on both sides. The art shows a horrified bearded worker in a white hard hat, a hi-vis yellow and orange vest, muddy jeans and work boots, kneeling on a freshly poured gray concrete slab with one hand on his head. The slab sits in wooden formwork with rebar sticking up, and a cut-away view below shows a length of orange corrugated conduit lying in the gravel underneath. “We Poured the” is lettered in distressed white with “Concrete.” in big yellow-orange letters, and “Then Found the Missing Conduit.” runs along the bottom in white and yellow-orange, each with an orange brush underline.

Who it’s for:

Made for the construction pro who knows exactly what that sinking feeling on a fresh slab looks like. Contractors, builders, concrete crews, electricians and anyone on a construction site who has walked a pour before it set will feel it. Pick it up for a birthday, the end of a big job, a retirement from the trades, Father’s Day or just because.
