How to facilitate the process of mixing concrete. A little time-tested trick.

When carrying out construction work, it is often required concrete structures of small volumese.g. garden paths, stair treads, etc.

In this case, usually no one orders a ready-made concrete machine. Kneading is done in a concrete mixer or manually.

But not everyone has a concrete mixer, therefore most often, when it is necessary to make a small volume of concrete, it is necessary to knead it by hand.

Everyone who has ever done this knows how much it is hard work, requiring a lot of physical strength and time.

But there is still an opportunity to facilitate this process with a little trick. Which one? Consider below.

What needs to be done to facilitate the process of making concrete with your own hands?

At first, concrete is a fluid substance, therefore, for mixing it bettertake a trough, old tub, or any other container of appropriate size.

In the container, the concrete components, in particular crushed stone, are better enveloped with cement milk, which contributes to a better mixing.

Secondly, will reduce labor costs when mixing concrete components allows replacing a shovel with a hiller.

This garden tool is unlike a shovel has a lighter weight.

And the principle of mixing concrete components changes when using it.

With a shovel, you have to constantly lift the concrete solution while mixing, which is quite difficult.

And mixing with the help of a hiller is carried out due to translational movements directed towards oneself, which is already much easier.

I learned this little trick a long time ago and used it many times. Therefore, I can say with confidence that it really makes the process of mixing concrete easier.
