During WW II a method of mixing concrete for the trenches was developed
that works incredibly well. The only equipment needed is a tarp. It takes
two reasonably strong bodies, but is not an athletic feat.<br><br>
All you do is dump the bag of dry mix in the middle of the tarp, the pour
in water. The two people on the tarp mix it by simultaneously pulling up
opposing corners of the tarp. It takes only a minute or so to mix an 80
pound bag of ready mix. It is quicker than a mixer, and clean up is
really easy. It can consist of letting the tarp dry and then shaking it.
The tarp is useful in funneling the concrete into the desired area.
<br><br>
Three of us filled a 5' deep by 3' diameter pole mount footer in about 90
minutes. <br><br>
It is too easy. I will never rent a mixer again. <br><br>

<dd>Hey All you wise ones!<br><br>
<dd>Â <br><br>
<dd>I am doing a pathway ice& snow melt project for one of our local
geothermal hot springs.<br><br>
<dd>I need to set a 48x48x36 vault in the ground in a location where we
cannot get even remotely close with a vehicle or concrete truck. It would
be a very long a reach for a small & reasonably priced crane. The
vault needs to be reasonably water tight on the sides and bottom &
the top would or will be hinged<br><br>
<dd>I am looking on the web, but if anyone has a wise suggestion on a
source for a fiberglass or HDPE box 48x48x36 deep vault.<br><br>
<dd>Â <br><br>
<dd>Any suppliers you would suggest would be appreciated. Any brilliant
ideas entertained.<br><br>
