How to Mix Concrete by Hand

[aah]

This guy was by far the most easiest to understand, doesn't speak too fast and easy to understand the terminology. Great video

This video was perfect and beyond helpful! My concrete ended up with the right consistency. I just knew! Not too soupy, but not overly crunchy! Thanks!

You make mixing an 80 lb bag of cement look easy. Thank you for sharing this video.

Ok, we know its not the perfect way to mix, oh and a slump test was not carried out ! BUT I have a bad back partly due to mixing barrowloads of concrete etc. Using a garden hoe ( I believe in other countries you can get the proper tool) keeps my body upright and pressure of my lower back and leading leg hip joint. this stops me from being laid up for a week after mixing a barrowload. Well done mate.

I learned this technique from my Mexican helpers, who I figure are the real pros.. The only thing different was they'd slice the bags across the middle, flip it over and pick up the ends, very easy and less to lift. Later, I took a hoe with a busted off handle and rounded off the corners. Easier to pull/push and cleans out the dry corners better.

Thank you, this helped me a lot. When i was a very small boy I used to work “hose duty” for my grandpa; he was an ace at making sidewalks at home. He used this same method with the wheelbarrow, hose and hoe, but I guess the ingredients are easier today. Back then he used I think 2 parts sand / 1 part Sakrete and it was a bit more difficult to get the mixture just right. But he nailed it every time. Now it’s my turn and decades later I needed a refresher course - so THANK YOU ! Great video. Now I have to go make my back door ledge.

Thank you. You got straight to the point and didn’t go round and round the mulberry bush. You explained it well with extra tips. I appreciate this video.

WOW, that is 3 times as much water as they put in the directions, that it's why it appears so simple, its not that simple. Anyway, GL 80 lb bag calls for less than a gallon of water. Did that look like less than a gallon?
