Concrete Mixer New Engine

Build the Wall. Build the Wall! Now you can make anything you want. A cement mixer is a time (and a back) saver! All the best. Hope you are well!

I dragged this out of the woods for free about five years back. I rebuilt the drum using material from a heating oil tank and it's been really nice to have! I've read it can do six or possibly eight bags at once. I haven't done that much at once but I know it has no trouble with four. I stumbled on to about twenty bags of concrete that had gone somewhat hard but was still mostly good. I threw it in bag and all, let it kind of eat the bag and snatch the bags out. Then I chucked in some old sledge hammer heads and let it tumble a while to try and break up the chunks. Pick out the hammer heads and the huge chunks and add water and the stuff worked out OK for what I needed. So much nicer than the hoe and wheel barrow! It's day by day here, sometimes even by the minute but all things considered we're doing alright. There's always someone worse off, right? I forget which video it was but you said try to have a laugh and that's really the ticket. If you can't laugh it seems like you're in deep!

@@heliarche Good plan on saving the concrete that was partially set. I have one of those little Harbor Freight mixers and one bag is its MAX. Any more and it bogs down. Working on another small box of goodies for you. We'll see what ends up in there. I've been watching the US ramp up to the election. Interesting stuff going on down there. Take care, man. Keep those videos coming!
