Its sets like bell iron. We will sometimes chuck some cement in along with a shovel of screed sand, when we want a bit of oomph to our hard core layer.

hi very difficult to get cement to site, thinking mixing on site, but concerned using 85 litre hire mixer will take for ever for 4-4.5 m3,also i take it mix fairly runny to help level? cheers

...needs compacted, and a full bed of mortar. So in addition to someone's labour, and skills and experienece, there's a wackerplate and a cement mixer to get, and a van with diesel and insurance and tax to gethem there. There's cleaning the equipment when he's finished, then somewhere to...

Hi All, I am am a bit bewildered by all the tips I've seen online so wondered if someone could say what the best things to use are? I have prepared my patio area, compacted in MOT type 1 subase and it is all level. I now have to lay my 3.6m cicular patio kit (sandstone). From what I have...

You should look at what the make-up of the floor is. You might strike lucky and have a concrete sub-base along with a floor screed, affording you the opportunity to break up the screed and lay your UFH. However, those panels look like they'll need a fair bit of cover, to prevent delamination...

...on top of? 3. Do I need to put down a damp course? 4. What shall I use to level off the dug out surface? 5. Having never used a cement mixer, is there some sort of compound I can I mix in a bucket to level the surface? 6. The area is around 9 meters square - roughly how long would it take...

I never asked if it changed or was ammended. Please show where the offer for Hopkins to apologise and end proceedings, was rescinded after 38 minutes. FFS. And explain how come after three days, and the months leading up to court, she still had the ability to retract apologise and end...

Her actions suggest otherwise. If I say I want £100 for a cement mixer and then you say done, If I then say oh and your van. Do you think the offer of £100 still stands? Surely you aren't that stupid. The offer changed. Given it have been complied with and yet the threats continued. It...

Can I use my existing bags of sand in some way? Also, do I need to use MOT1 and crush it down?

Buy 10+ 25kg bags of ballast and two bags of cement. Mix concrete (6:1) in a mixer. Lay concrete in the hole, tamp it flat-ish then walk away for a couple of hours. Trowel it smooth. Go have lunch. Trowel it again.

...on a budget should I do it a bit at a time with some cheaper tool? I don't know what tools to use for this. I also need to know what tool to use to put new mortar in and what the easiest to use mortar is as I won't have a cement mixer. Any advice on the attached outhouse would be welcome too.

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...
