Ok, I'm getting ready to start on my deck construction. The lumber is scheduled to be delivered this friday.
My dilemma is that I've got 7 posts to dig holes and set footers. Unfortunately the requirements have changed, they are now required to be 20" square or 22" diameter by 8" thick (used to be 12" diameter).
It works out to be a little over 3, 80# bags per hole. So I'm thinking I'd like to make my job a little bit easier I'd get a mixer. It's alot of concrete, but not nearly enough to get a premix truck in here.
So here are my options.
1. Do it by hand in the plastic morter tray and hoe. Hard work and can only mix one bag at a time.
2. Rent a mixer. Haven't checked prices yet, but could be expensive.
3. Buy this HF Mixer that's on sale.
Anyone used the HF or similar mixer. Will it survive the job? Is it worth getting it? Will it make my job easier or harder.
BTW, I do have a compact tractor with a loader so moving material or the mixer around will be easier.
