I have interest in doing a DIY slab. Figure 60SF +/-.
I think it’s too small for a truck, and it seems a good candidate for DIY. I’ve done small jobs where Immix in a bucket, nothing this big.
Thing is, 80# bags aren’t very much. And the rentable mixers that are 3.5-4 cu ft are only good for about 2 80# bags. Quickrete calculator says 34 bags…
Is this an amount, and fillable/mixable/pourable at a tempo that is practical for 2-3 people?
What is practical?
How big of a pour have you done with bags and a mixer? Has it come out ok?
I could do fractions at a time, and then just naturally have the expansion joints present from the partition between pours, fwiw.
Thanks!
