Cement mixer is B and Q but I picked it up on gumtree for £150, it had only been used to build a garage and was a lot cleaner than it is now :) https://www.diy.com/departments/build-buddy-370w-230v-cement-mixer-134l-bb134-a/405789_BQ.prd I think the laser should suit everything I need it for...

Wow great progress! Is that a screwfix cement mixer? Is it holding up OK? Also what laser level did you use in the previous pictures?

...new trench foundation, if the current garage foundations are deep enough I'll hand dig the short bits needed at each end. I have 2 cement mixers and access to a whacker plate, the rest of the tools I mostly already have or have access to borrow (this isn't the first thing I've been involved...

...Another 6-7k or so there, without any of the odds and sods that you’ll spend a few £100 on there and there. What’s your tool set like? Cement mixer, 300, wacker plate 300, digger 300 (hire), levels and trowels 150, angle grinder 100, genie lift 150 (hire), scaffold ??? Couple of grand in...

The companies who arrive with a truck loaded with water sand and cement, plus a mixer, to mix at your door, will barrow it, lay and level it for you. Providing you have the shuttering in place ready. They are not expensive and specialise in the smaller deliveries of concrete.

...to lay. The biggest challenge was the weather which was hot and causing the mortar go off pretty darn quick. I bought my MacAllister cement mixer about 5 years ago for £150 from B&Q, and have used it a few times before...but it’s about to have the busiest year of its life!! First mortar mix...

Is that the consistency I should be looking first three were put on with mix that was a little dry if yours is anything to go by! Might take em of and do again!

what type paddle mixer would you recommend ,wattage etc?

Is that cement mixer electric or battery more info?

I use 4 of these sand and 1 cement, it's about 7.5 litres, does about 25 bricks and at my snails pace the bit that's left either goes in the next mix or has firmed up enough for jointing after a tea break. I mix it with a paddle mixer in a flexi tub, far better than a mixer for small amounts.

put brick out on dry run and there's one gap on the first course,and just for good measure I ran a dry run on course onto of that, and that's giving me 2 gaps! would I be wrong to assume next course will revert back to one gap? sorry for all the questions!

here's one for you,I laid a line on the longer length of the build it's touching the bricks on one end actually first 23 bricks and touching the end brick but, is away from the other bricks in that line! However, I borrowed a folding 4 foot square and all the bricks are to the edge of the...

Forgot to ask you can one bed up the brick by much, part of foundation is off level by 8mm?

Actually looks like one gap about 2 inches, which is even better!

Already have them out dry, but there will be gaps to fill, and I think I'd be better with as I say 2 inch pieces of brick instead of 1 4 inch!

No a DIYer Not daft as builder might be using a hose to provide the water, and so cannot pre-add plasticiser to water. So into big cement mixer he adds 1 bag of cement and (say) 3 bags of sand, and then 85ml of your plasticiser. And only then adds water using hose. Put bricks on dry (no...

Hi all, I’m keen to have another go at float & set, but in the current climate where gypsum products are as rare as rocking horse doo doo, should I got for a sand and cement render rather than hardwall (which I’ve been using and since ran out of)? The walls are back to brick but with no cavity...

Short answer no. If you're doing tiny mixes (1 shovel of cement) you can mix it ok with a bucket trowel or pointing trowel in a builders bucket. More than that, do it in a barrow or on the floor or in a mixer

Thanks for your response the flashing that I need to replace is a little less than 3mtrs Can u clarify what would be the best mix. I am only going to go through and buy the materials in Wicks so need to know best cement and you talked about Plastering sand and what other sand ? Fairy liquid is...

Just a suggestion for DIYers to consider readymix for small pours like shed bases. I'm doing a small pour on the driveway next week: 0.5m³ of ST2. I priced up Readymix and was rather surprised: Readymix: £180 or 1 bulk bag ballast delivered = £40 7 bags cement delivered = £35 Mixer hire...
