During WW II a method of mixing concrete for the
trenches was developed that works incredibly
well. The only equipment needed is a tarp. It
takes two reasonably strong bodies, but is not an athletic feat.
All you do is dump the bag of dry mix in the
middle of the tarp, the pour in water. The two
people on the tarp mix it by simultaneously
pulling up opposing corners of the tarp. It takes
only a minute or so to mix an 80 pound bag of
ready mix. It is quicker than a mixer, and clean
up is really easy. It can consist of letting the
tarp dry and then shaking it. The tarp is useful
in funneling the concrete into the desired area.
Three of us filled a 5' deep by 3' diameter pole
mount footer in about 90 minutes.
It is too easy. I will never rent a mixer again.

I was just looking at these enclosures for a
potential battery enclosure to set in the ground for more stable temperatures.

Hey All you wise ones!
Â
I am doing a pathway ice& snow melt project for
one of our local geothermal hot springs.
I need to set a 48x48x36 vault in the ground in
a location where we cannot get even remotely
close with a vehicle or concrete truck. It
would be a very long a reach for a small &
reasonably priced crane. The vault needs to be
reasonably water tight on the sides and bottom
& the top would or will be hinged
I am looking on the web, but if anyone has a
wise suggestion on a source for a fiberglass or HDPE box 48x48x36 deep vault.
Â
Any suppliers you would suggest would be
appreciated. Any brilliant ideas entertained.
