Are you sure? can one person and a mixer get that done in a day? 2.3 tonne of ballast and 11 bags of cement by my reckoning

...in. In my limited experience, they will provide two wheelbarrows. If you have to walk it 15(?)m, the guy on the truck will have to sit there waiting for you to come back for a top up. Someone has to pay for his time. Hiring a cement mixer will be cheaper but you have to factor the other...

Yes, Geely. They also own Lotus.

...to form any firm opinions on a 5 minute drive from cold but it did seem to be a pretty ratly vehicle - the engine sounded like a cement mixer. It was a 2010 model, so fairly old. So maybe Volvo have upped their game on this model? Anyway, it looks as if they will be one of the first...

Hi thanks for the reply, so when you see the experts on YouTube doing a huge slab, and you see the concrete getting pumped in, then two people or more screeding, after that they go over it with a bull float, are they not showing the part where the large aggregate is getting bashed Down eg...

I don't understand your description, it all sounds needlessly complicated. All I know is that you've got to bash the surface repeatedly to push the chunks down and make the "fat", i.e. the sand/cement/water rise to the surface. It doesn't matter what you hit it with, it could be a wooden...

Mixamate are all in one concrete and pumping trucks.... Expensive though... I would do 1.2 cube in a mixer. Get the cement and ballast close to where its being mixed first...

I've made concrete from crushed concrete (and bricks and other assorted rubble). I've just used it for garden wall foundations, cavity fill and for a sub-base under stone paving. In my case I had big chunks so hired a mini crusher and put the lot through it, on its finest setting. I added...

I've always imagined you drive a red Rolls Royce limousine around Toad Hall. PoopPoop!:giggle:

Nope But it’s not unlike my mates place Which is absolutely rammed with old wrecked cars In excess of 40 at a guess plus various parts and builders equipment Cement mixers Diggers Tractor Trailers Ect ect Only 2 cars there worth a toss And soon to be a 3rd :cool: Work in progress

All done with full b/c and inspected. I think when dug put, the void was 160mm but someone has emptied the bottom of the cement mixer into it, hence the shallower sections. Can’t see due to the bpm but it feels like that’s what it is. So, you’d plate the legs to the side of the joist rather...

Hi. I don't have any building experience at all :eek: but I am going to have a go at making my own tool storage shed out of blocks (roughly 3m by 1.5m and just high enough to walk in). I'd appreciate any comments and suggestions on my "plan". As I progress I'll think more about each step before...

Hi. I'm going to be fitting a new bathroom. Currently there is a shower enclosure running off the combi boiler and has nice pressure. The space is 1490mm and I'm going to fit a 1400mm bath. I'm thinking I will be able to create a false wall at the end to hide the pipework for a mixer...

I doubt you'll be able to match it exactly because the existing mortar will have weathered and acquired bilogical growth that darkens it, but you should be able to find something close (or jet wash the wall before you match) Get a few different sands; different merchants can carry ones from...

12/15 bags of sand and 3 cement will do, in a belle mixer i use 4 bags of sand and 3/4 bag of cement and will do roughly 100 brick.

Bulk bags are usually between 750kg and 900kg depending where you get them from which is less than 0.5m3. I think it's to allow a weight safety margin even when saturated. You must have massive bins if they take up 5ft by 8 ft! That's 3.7m2 which would make .37m3 of concrete if it's 100mm deep...

...renovating the roof and walls of an old building, an old, open galvanized water tank is right at the only sensible location to stand a cement mixer. It is filled with brown water and long-decaying branches and other debris can be found at the bottom of the tank. Clean water is available but...

White silica sand, or white cement tone, or snowcrete. Or a combo of these. Key will be consistent mixers for consistent colour

You ideally need a level bottom to build off of. Chalk is soft, use a breaker or a digging bar/pickaxe. If you hit firm chalk at 500mm then consider yourself lucky. Otherwise you're looking at a stepped footing. In any case you will need a concrete footing under the blocks, laying directly...

Mapei top cem can be tiled over in as little as 24 hours. it should be mixed with a screed pump or forced action mixer not drum concrete mixer ideally
