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...

Hi all I want to mix some concrete tomorrow for a shed base but need to use a hose for the mixer. Is this allowed for domestic building or diy work? I'm in Oxfordshire if that helps. Thanks

What about making your own sea glass, toss broken bottles into the cement mixer with some gravel and water... goggles and ear defenders essential.o_O

If you don't fancy doing the stone repair yourself, is there sufficient wall left to fix shuttering and infill with concrete. It'll look pants, and you'll have to do it in careful stages so as not to overload the remaining wall, and shuttering. The shuttering will need some substantial bracing...

As someone pointed out, most power tools are used for seconds at a time so operating cost is pretty minimal. Exceptions- cement mixer running all day, compressor in use for paint spraying or similar, wallpaper stripper on for a couple of hours. Still not worth worrying about the cost- I'll...

...10f long. Not retaining much at all, just for decoration and hold in a bit of earth/raised garden of maybe 12" width. I don't have a cement mixer and just mixing the 'footings' will probably require 3 of the big garden waste tubs of concrete , which I know my wrists are going to be...

Hose it down when your done but to remove any going off reside, chuck 1/2 dozen shovels of clean chipping with plenty of water ,they will scour the drum clean without beating 7 bells out of it.

I have had a Petrol mixer belle 150l with 3.5hp briggs stratton used a while back for a project with no power, Then stored in the garage for few years. The other day we put it outside and tried to start with no luck. Removed carburettor, pushed some air and bang started at first pull. I then...

Done it a few times JD, and if you can tip mixer direct into trench/floor it’s easy and quick. No buckets needed, cement bags cut in half and 10 shovels of ballast which is already next to the mixer. Hose with trigger spray or big water butt next to you. Each mix is maybe 5mins or however long...

Sounds optimistic, I'm definitely DIY and I'd give myself half a day at least as you have to double handle 3 tonnes of materials so 6 tonnes, first into the mixer and second out of the mixer. A mixer is about 125l but if you do 6 ballast one cement in a 14l bucket that would be 100l, so that...

...are right next to the path / road … I don’t think I could get any closer if I tried lol Guess I just have to figure out ready mix v cement mixer… I have a cement mixer ( even though I’m A Plumber lol ) and the ballast etc would be right next to it. I Guess it’s just how long it would take...
