    I was a salesman for a large ready mix supplier in Southern California who unlike many of my colleagues started my career in concrete as a laborer on a pool deck crew and eventually retired as a regional salesman for a integral color company. . I learned to set forms and finish which proved valuable when working with both large and small contractors. All that to say this...I would have loved to have you as a customer. In all my years in the "biz" I ran across few contractors with the depth of knowledge and hands on experience you exhibit. It's no wonder you're a huge success....It ain't mud, it's concrete!!

    Hi there Odell. Amazing work as always. I notice you mentioned the concrete was 3500 PSI but in the UK what would be the mix for a shed base using a mixer and concrete? Which type of sand etc. For brick laying over here it's typically a 4 part building sand with one part concrete as far as I'm aware but for a shed base what would be a good mix? Many thanks and apologies for disturbing you.

    I notice you don't use much expansion strips when you butt up against a building or existing concrete. Most of the contractors use them in my area in the Midwest.
    I enjoy watch and learning your tricks of the trade, sadly our craftsmanship is falling by the wayside.
