Concrete

[carlton23]

Could you please explain what I do with `Dry` concrete mix. Do I just put it down, level, and wait for it to soak up water from the soil?

You're 'aving a larf!

Read the instructions on the packet!

Have you definitely got a bag of dry concrete mix... and not just a bag of cement....?

I only ask because the lady I have just worked for this morning, asked me ... ''If she emtptied a bag of cement on her damaged concrete drive ...would it level itself with the rain''...?

Sorry to appear gormless but I am not a `Navvy` so when I was looking in `Wick`s` catalogue I noticed this concrete for laying a path. I couldn`t manage the job myself, being 75 yrs of age and a disabled person, and was wondering what material would be used for the job when my son decides to do it for me.

Not such a silly question really because you can buy concrete (postcrete) that you use dry for fixing posts into the ground. You pour it in dry from the packet and add some water after.

For a driveway though you'll need to mix it with water first then lay it.
