So many Youtube DIYers don't know about concrete vibrators and do shitty concrete pours or add excessive water to make it more "flowy".
Mine was €60 from Ali and has done a fantastic job so far. Especially with casting against the old foundation it really gets the concrete flowing into the gaps between the stones to lock them in place. I see the air bubbles pop out of them when getting the tip near one and the concrete level drops as it flows in.
Same for making sure it flows into the extended footing and fills it.
It'll also make sure the rebar and anchor bolts are completely surrounded, which is essential for them to grip well.
Here's an example of the effect:

Don't take my word, just look skyward
They that dance must pay the fiddler
Sky is darkening, dogs are barking
But the caravan moves on(Tom Waits - Starving In The Belly Of A Whale)
Sometimes looking up changes every perspective. But still a question remains: Do you want to see the world in colour or in black and white?

Corner poured. There were many dark rainclouds passing by but my squinting at them caused them to behave.
This is the pouring setup after a few iterations.
Tractor with ancient manure cart top on pallet forks. Filled with four wide bucket loads from the excavator by the pile in the back. From there, shoveled into the mixer.
Cement tub on the other side and a small cart to haul bags from the barn and decant them into the tub.
Water trickling from a hose fills the water tub under the mixer with the fill bucket floating in it. It also catches most spills/wash from the mixer.
Concrete chute directly behind the insulation panels, with a plastic foil and board protecting the wall. The chute got a high side to catch the splashes.

Pouring station ready. And dirt piles moved out of the way.
Will see what the weather brings tomorrow. Been a bit unruly in some parts of the country with roofs flying away and trees blowing over.

Back in the trenches of the foundation project. Yesterday I chiselled off the last of the bad old concrete, which was so poorly adhered it came off in big chunks.
The granite wedges I picked out for re-use, then filled some new concrete into the big gaps under the beam.
While that cures, I've dug out the cornerstone, levered out some big rocks and pressure washed the stones.
Next the anchors, rebar and insulation foam panels (which double as "lost" formwork). Lets see how the Makita drill bits hold up to the granite.

I am charging him 30/hr basically - that is low for commercial but it could lead to more #degreaser sodium hydroxide (lye/caustic soda)or zep purple #concrete pretreat to kill organics - sodium percarbonate oxygen bleach - hydrogen peroxide #concrete post treat oxalic acid - not as severe as muriatic acid but brightens/whitens
the pressure washer disc attachment makes a big difference, cleans fast, no lines
you need to mix correct conc and wear ppe -

Concrete puck.
Useful for putting under things. And keeping the pesky grass away.
Simply pour excess concrete into a bucket and kick it a few times to let the bubbles out. Two days later, pop it out by gently tapping on the bottom.

The Last Days of the Loretto Extension
The ugly monstrosity that was an extension to the Loretto School in Youghal, in 2023. It was finally demolished in January this year....

Maia del Mazo Urban
A crouching figure anchors the lower foreground, radiating defiant ease through a composition of stark geometric angles and blown-out white negative space. The bold primary hues of her graphic tee and red shorts pop against the pale overcast sky, drawing focus to the intricate textures of her floral combat boots and the precise horizontal banding of her socks. Low-angle perspective transforms the concrete surface into a stage, while her upward gaze and relaxed posture imbue the scene with a […] -

This evening Chico dropped a fruit stem on the concrete slab and gave me the shot of the year — the happy curb!
