Not an algorithm that makes sense to me I'm afraid. Measurements in centimetres for all apertures please; depth, width and height Any hole of any size can be bricked up. Price breakdown later Not really. Per my post the weight of the water, it is about the same as the weight of the cement or...

Your measurement works out at 1.5cu which is around 3 bulk bags ballast 20 bags cement, cost here NW £300ish plus mixer and labour, don't know about the sips panels, but would be good practice to include a DPM and mesh, do you not have a local barrowmix to mix on site what you need and do all...

...out for a walk for a little bit of shopping and discovered rubber extension lead sockets are IP67 rated:unsure: A builder running a cement mixer, tarpaulin on the ground with a puddle of water where it drops into a flower border off the edge of the drive, blue cable from house and black...

just a update, managed to get the patio finished, hired a cement mixer and wife and eldest helped me before the bad weather got to me. still need some gabions and some patio edging and a couple of raised planters. happy with how it turned out, especially considering it was 13k i was...

Hi All After getting a £1250 quote for 18m2 of floor screed at 50mm, I thought I would investigate other options. I will require liquid screed for my extension with underfloor heating. I cannot go for a dry screed as I only have 50mm to work with. Has anyone ever DIY'ed liquid floor screed? I...

Which type of breaker did you use to break the original concrete up from where it came from?

Bit of a small batch the last time, this took less than half a day but still worthwhile... Before (only some of)... After... Made dry mix concrete with this lot for under paving. Mixed with a bit of cement in the mixer (with ear defenders!) then compacted in. You can also wet mix with...

...Saturday. You can please all of the people none of the time! :) Mmm, it's not a solution that scales down to typical DIY gear easily. Gas burner under the cement mixer etc If laying decorative stone chips, how about the plastic binder grid things to keep a thinner layer of them from...

Approximate 60% of the civilian casualties in Gaza have been women and children. There's no suggestion that the other 40% were Hamas, Some of them were doctors, nurses and ambulance drivers, even UN workers and press.

If I threw a shovel of ballast at a cement mixer and 80% went in the mixer, you'd agree that my intention was to get the shovelful in to the mixer - no?

Have done it on numerous occasions , it works out at 10 - 12 mixes per ton, 10mins a mix. Get yourself organized with half a dozen builders buckets, a dustbin full of water to bucket it out of , a hose is useless for fast mixing, and get through mix aggregate

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:
