Concreting the workshop part 1

Finally after a very long time we have got round to concreting the workshop, which should make my life considerably easier when doing servicing and maintenance especially with the lorries, our mixer bucket means we can lay a 40ft by 10ft by six inch slab in under 2 hours.

[@awd3264]

Remember as a kid helping my dad mix concrete. The one thing that would really upset my dad was to put in to much water. Paradoxically you need water but to much will weaken ruin the mix.

nice shoulder view :D but i like the head view more

[@onyourbikeuoldfart]

So much more fun than driving a tractor. lol

[@cibie01]

Never seen one of them buckets before a great bit of kit, at the start when you were chucking all that stuff in i was thinking how the hell is he going to mix that its going to weigh a ton lol.

Unless he got that cement free, packed is a really expensive and inefficient way to do this. Part-load bull would've been easier... for cement or concrete.

[@TheMrMoric]

25kg is around 2.5 euro thats not much

[@andywhf8249]

I was wondering the same , does it work out much cheaper to mix your own"?

[@jamesfordjhfcontractingltd1627]

I can mix C35 concrete for £75 per M3, I’m currently paying £144 per ton for cement, I’ve got a 6m3 lorry mixer & a 6m3 tractor mixer

[@EezeeListen]

You are certainly a very versatile and skillful man. There are people who are called "handyman" - I think you should have a big W on your work clothes and be called "WonderMan". The specialised mixer bucket is a great idea, so much more practical than an ordinary static barrel mixer and the need to empty that into barrows (we used to use power barrows, but they hold only about 1/4 tonne if I remember - hardly anything).

That fucking scraping sound from the rock on the bucket is enough to kill someone

[@IAMdevilwomen]

the ending was funny, sounded like a couple of chipmunks fighting

[@19Dad84bod]

lmao I thought that was funny too

[@hywelisthebest]

We used to have a bucket like that from Merlo with a TurboFarmer. Was a great bit of kit...especially for crab steering when filling trenches etc. My dad (construction co. owner) still thinks that the auger type makes a bar better mix than the usual turn and fall sort of mixers.

[@19Dad84bod]

are you doing the whole garage buddy? great job.. and that jcb is one handy forklift thingy... it can do everything... I'm pretty amazed by that machine!.. I live in Canada and haven't seen many jcb equipment.. mostly case new Holland and JD...I'm sure glad lonely farmer recommended you!.. I can't imagine you you guys liking one another... he seems very opinionated, and excuses for days lmao...

[@Guerrillaskin2012]

do the math ! this way is cheaper saving about £20 per meter all be it a lot slower and prob is using free labour , if i buy 2 tone of bagged cement from my local builders yard usually costs £1.80 per bag

[@thomasdunne6457]

Do have to laugh at all the people giving out about no mesh and not thick enough... the pass way for lorries at home was poured by my grandfather with sand and gravel dug from the river mixed by hand and its bearly 3 inchs thick and theres not a crack in it......

[@charlesstevenson5141]

That shit is going to be full of cracks in the firs year if not damn near busted up. No mesh down to pretension against the cold, slab is to thin and the mixer batches are too inconsistent in water to mix ratio plus too much time between batches.

[@randolphbutler1832]

Looks good George. Very big job to pour, finish and dress concrete. Thank you for sharing.🐄🐂😷👍

[@BigUnit4570]

Good job George ! It's good to see someone get into their work - get after it - and make a "go" of their life. Best be watching out for that auger when you are feeding in the cement. Watching this on a computer screen I didn't have very good depth perception and a couple of times their it looked like your hands got REAL close to the auger. Once that bad boy bites you, your friends would rename you "Stumpy." Good luck and keep up the great vids. Thumbs UP! from someone lived on a farm and did allot of concrete work down in Texas.

[@cwilkinson1440]

That mixing bucket on that JCB is very handy. Is it normally used for mixing feed??

[@petessite]

lovely job George , cant beat your system , mixing bucket , power planer, remember yrs ago we had someone who used to make the concrete 12 / 1 an wondered why ALL our concrete was shit !!! there was no telling some people !!!! keep up the good work , good videos

nice work!! but without the mesh or controlled joints its going to crack like a cookie

[@shgp1956]

Agreed, seems a shame to go to all that trouble and then not place reinforcement in it? The white polystyrene strip is to allow for any expansion of the cured concrete I presume?

No reinforcing material in the concrete?

[@checkwalkcare8128]

here in turkey, cement is 50 kg per package

[@Engineer9736]

Good principle to get a lot of people with back problems. But cement packages are more meant for laying bricks i think. For such a floor you normally just call a cement truck.

[@gordonmckevitt3127]

[@olliebest1311]

what's the white tape stuff for ??

[@hywelisthebest]

Its to allow for expansion. Otherwise the whole floor would end up cracking. Somewhere, you will literature (BSI?, ISO?)find the proper spacings that you require for it to be sufficient - probably based on depth, length of run or square meterage most likely.
