Regardless of what your DIY project is, you have three considerations to take into account. Time, Effort, and Cost. If you are willing to expend these yourself, then go for it. If not, let a pro do the project. In the DIY world, it's too easy to bite off more than you can chew.
Too many commercials
My local place only has 80lb bags... I can handle a 80lb bag but it's not safe or graceful lol. So I came to CZcams to see what the trick of the trade was for handling these without wrecking myself. This is going to keep me from being wore out before I even get going and from having to drive way further for those smaller bags at the big box store.
I'm trying to decide if I want to mix in my wheelbarrow or get a mixer. I noticed that wheelbarrow mixing is actually much faster than the mixer. The quickrete material just needs the water. You can literally add the same exact amount of water each time by measuring the first mix accurately. Once you know this amount, just mark it on a bucket and toss the water in first, then the dry mix. Use a hoe to mix it up and it works faster than the Machine. However it is probably more tiring? This is what I don't know really. I've always used a machine and lifting the bags is crazy on your back.
Thank you SO MUCH for the trick to cut bags in half. You are a lifesaver. I may only buy 60 pound bags...but I'm 5'2" tall, 65 years old, and have several medical issues. My shoulders and back thank you!!
Dude, you saved my back!
Love that rebar trick! Keep posting these quick tips. Congrats on passing 18k subscribers!!! You guys deserve it.
Timothy, your tip on the rebar splitting the bag is genius. Not only are they lighter, they are much easier to load into the mixer. Something so simple baked all the difference. Also helped keep things clean.
Appreciate you showing two ways of mixing. I liked the rebar usage. Thanks.
