> That will get jumped up on Memorial Day"

Totally off topic, but is this a normal usage of this phrase? I've never seen/read "get jumped up" used in this sense.

I think it's pretty normal construction jargon, yes. It's a bit unusual to laymen's ears, but the meaning is still pretty clear.

Took me by surprise, but it makes perfect sense in context. I just assumed it was the cranebro vernacular.
