...ugh J-men....thanks for the heads-up.....it sounds like a job for Superman.....and not for fatlazyless.....probably best to hire up a readi-mix truck and just stand there and watch all that concrete slide down the chute.....or whatever.....I'm getting a backache just thinking about lugging all those 80-lb bags of el cheapo three dollar concrete mix from Lowe's....will stick to small jobs....like repointing w/ sand mix....and stuff like that....

By the way....how much does an 80-lb bag of concrete mix weigh?......

Less, the bags are not really cheap concrete, just not really good for this size project.

As far as the weight, I will have to get back to you, I believe I have a chart around here that will tell us that.

jmen, I think FLL got you on that one.....I would guess that an 80 lb bag of cement mix weighs somewhere around......let's say 80 lbs!!!

So, FLL, does that mean you're not interested in the job?

Hello Phantom.......I'll be happy to come take a look-see and talk with you about it.....not this weekend but.....after about Feb 4....I could run over there most any time. Will send you an e-mail.

Pleazzzzzzzzzzzeeee PG talk to FLL. He needs a job. His PPD "posts per day" this quarter are triple his normal rate. We're going to have to go to a new rating system, PPM "posts per minute. You know I love ya L, but couldn't pass up the opportunity.
