Easy way to move 1/4 yard of concrete. Can I put tarps in my pickup, have ready mix poured in and drive right up to forms?
I have a small pour I need to do. 1 x .5 x 8 feet and a couple of 1 x 1 x 1 piers. So just about 6 cubic feet. Can I put wooden blocks in by pickup, cover with a tarp or two and pour the concrete right in my bed? This way I can back right up to the forms. Ready mix place is only about a mile away. I guess I could just build a box out of plywood and 2x6s. Have the side rails and plywood extend past the end of my lowered tailgate, and put a crossboard at the end of the bed - braces well. Then when I get in place remove that crossboard and use a hoe to pull it into forms. I think I can have it in the forms within less than 30 minutes after it is poured into my truck. Am I doing this all wrong, any other ideas? submitted by /u/gcnplover23 [link] [comments]
