I might add I had a builder and mate excavate mechanically some old thick concrete, break it up and move it and import and lay some highway scrapings to ensure a uniform concrete thickness of about 4". but even all this labour etc cost less than the actual concrete. Depending on access, some mixers will discharge into a small motorised dumper able to access spots where a standard dumper is too big and/or the volume of concrete is such that hand barrowing is not viable. If you have a local friendly builder you can ask advice, otherwise do some ringing around. Let us know how you get on. Or mix it yourself with a small electric mixer, ideally with a mate who can monitor the next mix while you lay the first, it halves the time. But in my experience of building my garage I reckoned that in one day it was only practical to lay about about 6 sqaure metres a day of flor thickness. |
