Title: Cement mixer - wanted
Post by: UPoneacre on July 25, 2014, 02:53:18 pm

Has anyone in striking distance of mid Wales got a small cement mixer they want to part with? It'd need to be small enough to be able to transport in the back of an estate so something like the wheeled Belle mixers would do. Anything considered.

I'm fairly sure Susanna and Paul have got one, you might be able to borrow.

Thanks for that - hadn't thought of that possibility :)

Still need to buy one tho' as a few projects are long term.

We've got one that we use for garden stuff but I don't think it would be up to mixing actual cement in any great quantity.

Thanks for the thought. I'm just preparing to do all of the concreting of the outbuilding floor slabs (when I've worked out where to move all of the contents to, another problem -duh!) and then a load of block walling so it's not going to be a quick or small job. The problem is that each of the loads needed will be too small for readymix firms so site mixing is the only option (and my days of hand mixing are definitely over ;D). We'll keep looking.
