bastard, reminds me of the time I gave my daughter a stick welding rod and told her it as a sparkler, stood for hours in front of the bonfire trying to light it.

Or telling the kids, when the ice cream van :drool: siren is playing it means they have run out. :bang:
John you know she will get her own back and swap your weldng rod for a sparkler one day :lol:

Shipto, when I did my slab 5.3mx3.6 it took 3.5 cubic metres of readymix. your maths is right, ish. 6x3 =18m3. Then the depth if 50cm=/2 10cm(4inches) =/10. My slab was 6 inches deep more or less. Did the same as you with the polly membrane hardcore and reinforcing.
Have to say I cheated and got a company in. Freebarrow where they come and mix what you need and barrow it in for free.
Worked out cost of hiring a mixer and the raw materials, not to mention the backbreaking labour and they were still cheaper.
Did it in one pour, just leaving me to shutter it flat. Only word of advise for later is keep the roof under 2.8-3.0m to keep the planners happy, also 5.5m from the main dwelling. :ddb:
