After being told my first idea was doomed to failure, I've come up with two alternatives, the first comprises a minimal strip and foundation blocks, and the second is a full fill trench. Building will be an unattached outhouse, non-Building Controlled, 3m tall brick-and-block home gym, with no...

Fit some new bearings, not expensive.

Where have all the integrated vented tumble dryers gone? Ours is 20 years old and has recently begun making a great impression of a cement mixer! I could have a crack at repairing, but given its age, it's probably time for a new one. I am absolutely flabbergasted than I can't find a single...

I used this tile adhesive to stick on a couple of ceramic tiles. Approximately 48 hours later, I went to drill some holes for a shower mixer and the force/vibration of the drill pulled the tile away from the wall. I noticed that most of the adhesive was still entirely wet at this point. I...

...work, but finally got the paving slabs in place, each one set on a bed of mortar: Next weekend, weather permitting, I hope to hire a cement mixer and mix enough concrete to fill some of the trench on either side of the slabs to ensure they are fully supported. Then the soil will be pushed...

...concrete: 8 x 25kg bags cement 1 x large jumbo ballast bag (I think this is around 800kg), which is probably more than I need, but it works out cheaper than buying many small bags. I'm planning to mix it in a 1 cement to 6 ballast by volume. Now I just need a cement mixer and some good weather!

...28 slabs in total along the length of the trench. I need to determine how much sand and cement to order! We will probably hire a cement mixer for a long weekend (3 days). I would appreciate some guidance on how to determine how much sand and cement is required for this job. For example, if...

...and it will be a long day for 60m2 with two people, It's not a solo job. And no rain, not even a few spots for the following 12-24 hours. It's not a traditional cement mixer either. Get the big floats and lots of white spirit. Overalls, gloves and tape up anything you don't want resin stuck to.

...at various gradients and the patio is circular, so I plan to butt the blocks together with mortar between each one. There's about 20 meters to do! I'll be using a cement mixer for the mortar. Will it be sufficient to lay the blocks in a bed of mortar as I go? Will 1:4 cement to soft sand be...

Use water, lol. If it has stiffened in the sun a wee bit, chuck a shovel or two of aggregate in there and let it spin.

Hi I have a cement mixer on hire which I need to clean. I go a concrete dissolver spray off the net, this works fine for the outside. Is there a chemical/way I can get the hardened cement out the inside. Thanks

Hi, I'm looking for recommendations regarding cement mixers. I had an old belle minimix that my dad bought about 35 years ago. it was a good workhorse but it had been outside all those years and it could only mix about a bucket of mortar at a time. The drum would jam if you put more in...

It's not a huge area, you should attempt it in one go. Hire a cement mixer, and use a hand tamper for the sub base. Buy in a few extra small bags of ballast, just to make sure you have enough. You'll be able to take lunch/tea break whilst working, just pull a tarp over it. And again once...

...footing slab and then build the steps up from there. I’ve worked out the total concrete to be about 1.5m3 and plan on mixing it with a cement mixer I’ve got hold of. I’m looking at just using concrete blocks laid on their side for the wall and steps, tanking the back of the blocks and...

2 bulk bags of ballast, however many bags of cement (calculators online for it) and a mixer positioned so it can tip each load directly in place. Keep the mixer going and just do load after load. That size should be comfortably doable within a couple of hours. You get into a flow and it’s easy...

...rounding, but approx. My local builders merchants are, B&Q / TradePoint, Sydenhams, Travis Perkins, and Jewson. I do have access to power and hand tools, such a plate compactor, electric cement mixer, spades, shovels, wheels barrows, floats, etc, etc. I welcome any advise. Thanks in advance.

That looks like an early model, probably with a lot of hours on it.

I built my extension and various other projects around the house/garden using the previous version of this B&Q own brand mixer. https://www.diy.com/departments/mac-allister-370w-240v-cement-mixer-134l-mac90/196982_BQ.prd Worked great. Just keep it clean and turn it on before you start loading...
