    I mixed concrete for a hockey arena in this size mixer. If this is concrete that is some weal concrete. No aggregate. You needa dah stones!

    When it came time for the floor, I was gone. Northern Manitoba. The piers were supposed to be 12 feet down due to frost going 8 feet in a cleared parking lot. But we hit hardpan. Basically you are chipping through it, but not with a backhoe. So the engineers solution 8 foot square 16 inches thick pads, then 16 inch piers. Then a 2 foot x 1 foot grade beam on the piers. 75 x 150 feet. Fun. Native guys running back and forth our mixer was 1/3 cubic yard and as fast as my cousin and I could mix, they were back. I still remember the come on come on come on! 40 years ago.
