Yes, Earl, I'd do it again!
I mixed 5 80lbs of concrete in one afternoon one after the other. 5 =
more the next day. =20
I then mixed 16 66 lbs bags in one day.
This was a bit too much but I had to finish because of threatening =
weather.
As the mold is 2' x 2' and I did a double row,,one section is 4' x 10' =
and the next section (turning the corner) is 4' x 16 ft.
A total path of 26 feet, 4' wide.
The path preparation was easy but took some time. Killed all the grass. =
Raked out big stones. Put down sand about 2" thick, but I had to level =
the part that was going to be under the "bricks" It was not leveling as =
in "slope" because it is on a slope, but as in "bumpy." The mold =
should lie flat or the cement will get out the bottoms.
I'd do it again, and very well may. THE ONE AND ONLY PROBLEM was that =
kneeling down and getting up and kneeling down and getting up was hell =
on my knees. Mixing the concrete in a wheelbarrow with a hoe and shovel =
was no big deal, though a mixer would have been fun.
