Hi Lemmy,
I want to do a project that involves concrete. Basically I am making steps, giving them texture and stamping them so it looks somewhat like stones.
I have watched a million videos and I feel I can tackle this, plus I have a lot of areas to practice that won't be too visible so if the steps look a bit amateur it's fine.
My biggest question is about the effort of mixing concrete. I have a corded drill with a mixing paddle and most steps won't require much. However a few are larger and I would have to mix 10 bags or so. The drying time allows me to work one at a time and then do my stamping but I was wondering if this is feasible from an effort perspective.
I am an experienced DIYer but have not worked much with concrete, I made a coffee table, post bases, etc but never something that requires so many bags... am I setting myself up for failure / a broken back? hehehe
Thanks for your feedback!
The issue with the rental is logistics but i can buy a mixer for this project anyway and recoup a bit reselling it after (or keep it, don't tell my wife)
I already have the drill and will trysit on a small step for my shed, 4 bags or so, plannig to do 2 at a time to test so I'll have a real life try to gauge
