At 59.3 bags per cubic yard, and around four dollars a bag??????? That makes $240.00 per cubic yard. We are buying redi mix for a hundred with tax.
We often run into this same line of thinking, but I just do not understand the reasoning.
I'm thinking I would be happy to pour it for you for the diferance in price, especialy if you had the forms ready to pour, and you strip the forms.
The guys mixing can now wheel the concrete, then drink their beer a hr after the truck gets there.
We do pretty much avoid pouring on Sat, or Sun. because the drivers are in a better mood during week days.
PLUS NO BEER NEEDED for me.
I do however point out I refuse to pay for small load charges.
I certianly hope this does not come across as me being a smart rear end, but I juxt don't get it.
I worked for a guy that saved lots of money because he mixed his own with a 8N Ford. At the time redi mix was $42.oo a yard, and a bag of pouder was $7.00 plus change.
