Concrete Path

After about 4-6 hours, the concrete was set enough to finish the step...

I added a contraction / crack gap in the middle and a micro spoon drain at the end. Hopefully the water will run off into the garden.

Concrete Path

The path has to be done. I thought and thought and decided if I am going to make the concrete path, it would be good to get it over with. I only used 7 20kg bags of cement and I took a bite out of the excess sand I had from the driveway.

I had to form up a step and here it is. In a few more hours after it does its initial set, I'll take off the front timber and finish it with a broom finish.

Suddenly the mixer stopped - it over heated. I waited a bit and then pulled out a server fan for extra cooling. This is a very good reason not to get this mixer for trade use. You don't want any delays when concreting.

Opps, spare concrete. I though I would box it.
