Not small feet, just tree trunks of legs from walking round in setting concrete all day

A cube of concrete is about 2.4 tonne

I'll try to find out who w used for Andy C's drive because we had fibre reinforced concrete for less than £100 per cube if I remember rightly

2.4 tonne a cube? and i'll need 3 of em? buggered if i'm shovelling that or inflicting it on anyone else!

Fibre reinforced sounds good, last thing i want is it cracking up.

That is for a usable mixed concrete (wet). A highly fluid mix still has only around an additional 110 Litres/kilo of water so a dry mix still exceeds 2 Tonnes

well I never

rapidresto · 13-03-2009, 08:15 PM

either way its damn heavy

So it'll be a party round mine, with many hands on deck and the concrete will turn up on a truck
