That's indeed a smart use of those slabs. So at 50mm away from the concrete slab, that's enough room to shovel in wet concrete mix between to prevent the rest of the hardcore to crumble away, and hopefully give some support to the edges? I think those slabs are around the right size to do that...

...concrete. Once set fill the void with runny concrete. I think you'd need a jumbo bag of ballast and half a dozen bags of cement and a cement mixer. You can bolt a ledger plate to the slabs to carry the decking. I do like to recycle ex council slabs, I reckon I've got about a hundred in...

...slabs i can expect to lay per mix @ 50mm bed. Area is quite big, 4x11m. I will be laying 75mm of mot1 crush prior. I already own a cement mixer, stihl saw and compactor, this is why i am considering doing it myself but i have a habbit of being unrealistic in how long it will take! Theres...

1 cement, 2 sand and 4 gravel is not equal to 1 cement and 6 ballast. The gravel has air gaps between the stones that the sand mostly fits into. The equivalent would be 5 ballast. I've no idea what grade I mix, but I use 10 shovels of ballast and two shovels of cement per load and it's...

I did a similar sized slab last year. 1 bulk bag of ballast and 6 small bags. 6 bags cement. Only get the bulk bag if you've got a wheelbarrow, but it does work out cheaper. (Maybe not if you need to buy a barrow, but job will be easier with a barrow, and you'll need a mixer)

...- the stress on the lady when the police do investigate. There is even talk if women buying defective pills that do not work - made in a cement mixer in china type idea. I suspect that is pushing it as the effects of the pills do not take all that long to have an effect but it will delay the...

2 bulk bags ballast and around 12 bags of cement, a cement mixer and a few hours of hard work, may be easier to get it delivered.

So if we where to go on the notion of blocks and filling the gap with cement then how many blocks do you think i will need? and how much cement sand and hard cord do i needs as well? Is the mix the same for the filler as the blocks I presume it is a solid wall and yes it is an enclosed...

Hear are the messurements of the windows in cm by length, height and width, please not that the width is not that acurate due to the fact that half the glass is presnet and the other half is boarded up with wood 150x165x18 167x87x17 88x165x15 84x82x17 I though pouring cement would be the easy...

Not an algorithm that makes sense to me I'm afraid. Measurements in centimetres for all apertures please; depth, width and height Any hole of any size can be bricked up. Price breakdown later Not really. Per my post the weight of the water, it is about the same as the weight of the cement or...

Your measurement works out at 1.5cu which is around 3 bulk bags ballast 20 bags cement, cost here NW £300ish plus mixer and labour, don't know about the sips panels, but would be good practice to include a DPM and mesh, do you not have a local barrowmix to mix on site what you need and do all...

...out for a walk for a little bit of shopping and discovered rubber extension lead sockets are IP67 rated:unsure: A builder running a cement mixer, tarpaulin on the ground with a puddle of water where it drops into a flower border off the edge of the drive, blue cable from house and black...

just a update, managed to get the patio finished, hired a cement mixer and wife and eldest helped me before the bad weather got to me. still need some gabions and some patio edging and a couple of raised planters. happy with how it turned out, especially considering it was 13k i was...

Hi All After getting a £1250 quote for 18m2 of floor screed at 50mm, I thought I would investigate other options. I will require liquid screed for my extension with underfloor heating. I cannot go for a dry screed as I only have 50mm to work with. Has anyone ever DIY'ed liquid floor screed? I...

Which type of breaker did you use to break the original concrete up from where it came from?

Bit of a small batch the last time, this took less than half a day but still worthwhile... Before (only some of)... After... Made dry mix concrete with this lot for under paving. Mixed with a bit of cement in the mixer (with ear defenders!) then compacted in. You can also wet mix with...

...Saturday. You can please all of the people none of the time! :) Mmm, it's not a solution that scales down to typical DIY gear easily. Gas burner under the cement mixer etc If laying decorative stone chips, how about the plastic binder grid things to keep a thinner layer of them from...

Approximate 60% of the civilian casualties in Gaza have been women and children. There's no suggestion that the other 40% were Hamas, Some of them were doctors, nurses and ambulance drivers, even UN workers and press.

If I threw a shovel of ballast at a cement mixer and 80% went in the mixer, you'd agree that my intention was to get the shovelful in to the mixer - no?

Have done it on numerous occasions , it works out at 10 - 12 mixes per ton, 10mins a mix. Get yourself organized with half a dozen builders buckets, a dustbin full of water to bucket it out of , a hose is useless for fast mixing, and get through mix aggregate
