Pouring the concrete

As we have no power at the building site and because I have vast experience at mixing concrete in a wheel barrow that's what I am going to do. I am using high strength crack resistant "kwikcrete" with a PSI rating over 5,000. Mixing in a wheel barrow is easiest with a square edge shovel as it scrapes the bottom better than a round point. As each additional bag was mixed and put into the forms I would beat the outside of the forms with a hammer to help the crete settle and eliminate air pockets.

Each form will hold nine eighty pound bags which comes out to 72 bags--almost three tons on concrete.....Alot of mixing.
