In this video we mix concrete at a ratio of 5:1. In our next video we will show how we lay a concrete base with the concrete we mixed up.
Thanks for this. Just put concreted a big shed base and watched your video to remind me how it's done - last concreting done fifteen years ago and then only assisting my builder mate. A great reminder of how to get it right!
Love the mixing sound
The cement mixer is a thing of beauty! :) Thanls for the video, very helpful.
😊👍
Proper Norfolk builder
That’s right boi 😊👍
Great video this was mate!
Great invention, the Irish tumble dryer. 😊
Whew, remind me not to drink 6 stouts before watching your vids!
Always remember priming the big mixers with a touch of oil to get them started in the morning, on the building sites back in the 1980s
That brings back memories Jim , trying to turn over a diesel mixer on a cold morning used to nearly break your arm until you got the knack, then it was a piece of piss 😂😂,
Many thanks for watching Jim 👍👍
Gorgeous
Thanks for the video very helpful. Can't believe how many "experts" found it necessary to watch this and then criticise! Muppets.
Darland many thanks for watching, I totally agree with what you say, 👍👍👏
Thank you for teaching me how to make mortar now I can make mortar by my own 😊❤️ I will build my home first
Go for it 👍👍
Tbh this video is very informative
Is that a 170L mixer
What kind of sand is it?
Alright bud any chance you could give us some tips or a video on bucket gauging with a mortar mix as I keep finding when I bucket gauge at a 5.1 mix the belle 150size mixers keep overflowing any tips on getting round the problem be a big help
half batch.
@@kennkid9912or the lad could use 4 in 1 or even 3 in 1
Try a smaller bucket
1-2-3. 1 cement, two sand,three rock. finer mix is stronger. dry mix and then add water.
Kenn everyone has there own way of getting the same result, many thanks for watching 👍👍
or 1 cement 2 rock 3 sand.Dont forget to bring some rocks to fill in, if you run short on the project. Wet them.
I got to replace two bricks in my bathroom so what ratio would you recommend and can I use plastering sand
4:1 building sand probably abit late now haha
And did you lay that slab with the mixer? Wish I had a mixer had to mix by hand 18 bags of 20kg of premix into a wheelbarrow the other day1
My days of mixing in a wheelbarrow have long gone, good on you though sometimes you have just got to do what you have to do, many thanks for watching 👍
@@BuildingwithBudd A mixer is on my bucket list! 🙂🙂🙂
👍
👏👍
We do it 3:1 or 4:1 max
Hi bud bought a bell mixer drum has a slight wobble is that normal
Is it new or 2nd hand ? If it’s new no, if it’s 2nd hand doesn’t surprise me, or it might not be screwed on fully, cheers for watching 👍👏
Thanks bud, yes it’s brand new but maybe it’s just the drum isn’t perfect in circumference and it’s just wobbling because of that
John
Just unscrew the drum and take it off then screw it back on, shouldn’t be to much wrong with it, Chuck a mix in and see how it goes 👏👏👍
Thanks bud, sent them a video of the drum spinning they agreed it had a lot of wobble someone came out with a new drum for me I pulled the old one off put the new one on fine now thanks again
Brilliant, once again thanks for watching 👏👏
Are those metric measurements?
0ps ...Meant to be 18 bags of 40kg not 20kg !!!🙂🙂🙂

Can I pour the mixed concrete into builder’s buckets, or will it spill everywhere?
Normally pour it into a wheelbarrow 👍
@@BuildingwithBudd Thanks for the answer. Unfortunately that means spending £50+ which is why I ask.
The other way is mix up in the mix let it mix then turn it off and shovel in buckets or top the lot on the floor and shovel it that way, whatever works for you 👍
@@BuildingwithBudd Thanks. I think I will hire a barrow, £8 for a week, just up the road too.
👍
Great Video but I could not understand your english and also it was low volume
We are from Norfolk in the UK , we speak in a strange way boi 👍
Wheres the lime?
In concrete ???
Brick later always got me to put lime in the mix but that was for laying blocks and bricks
Three words people ' buckets ' ' not' 'shovels' obviously this depends on how important the the strength and consistency is for the particular job but as a video tutorial it's wrong to put it out as you did like
The title "how to mix concrete " --- this is some hodge-podge morter-mix because there was no STONE or GRAVEL in the mix. Going to crack, break, and crumble no matter how it is used. Use 3 parts STONE or gravel,2 parts coarse sand, and 1 part Portland cement for REAL concrete. Or just buy the bags of redi-mix concrete. WHAT ---stone & GRAVEL are EVERYWHERE.
It’s 10mm all in , if your in the trade you would know , if your not look a bit closer ,
@@BuildingwithBudd This 10mm must be something from another territory or sort. Must have some special universal qualities built right into the batch. Could not see it through the air waves. Happy shoveling & mixing ,Sir.
Bruh you can literally HEAR the 10 rattling around…whether you see it or not.
Это точно! 1:2:2(3)👍☝️
the stones, if there any must be very small. This is more like SCREED than concrete.
the strength of that floor isn't that strong.
jus use 12 shovels of sand and half a bag of cement lol also ur meant to throw the water at the back before it falls lol are u an apprentice
5:1 its very weak
