Unless you have amixer big enough to make all of the cement for the slab
within an hour or so you will have section that are hardeding way before you get
to the end of the job. and remember it will take an army of men to keep it
going.
Years ago my unlce Walter wanted to build a swimming pool it was about 20 by
50 we had a huge mixer that made about one yard at a time and it took about
6 of us to keep it going all day just to make enough concrete for the floor.
I never worked so hard in my life. the labor was free but if you had to pay
for it then that would kill you.
On small jobs around the house a good mixer is nice to have but anytime you
start pooring slabs its always cheaper and better to have your local concrete
suplier to bring it in and get the job done right the first time.
