Hi all,
I'm trying to convert an old greenhouse into a garden storage shed, and I need to concrete the floor. Its half done already in that there is a central concrete path which I think is breeze blocks with concrete poured over them.
I've dug it all out the soil to about 6 inches below the concrete path and filled it with old breeze blocks and bricks, and am planning on sloshing a runny concrete mix in and puddling it about a bit to hold it together and level it.
From what I've read this is a bit rough and ready, but I don't need anything fancy. My questions are - is this OK or will it crack over the next ~10 years? And what mix of concrete do I use? Do I use a different mix to fill the gaps and screed the top layer?
thanks in advance,
Jim
