Larry, Back in the 50's my dad got a crane to harvest sand and gravel out of the river running through farm. Then using a small mixer, we made an entire cow feeding lot, a little at a time.
Agree, 2 yards sounds like a lot, but if you have free labor, kids, nothing is impossible.
Where I live, there is a 3 yard minimum load or you get charged more.
If you have to buy your sand, gravel and portland, then I would pay for someone to deliver it for me.
However I have my own, mixer, sand, gravel and Lowes is about a dollar cheaper than Menards, I might mix it myself.
As for the ratio, it really depends on how strong you want it and how thick you are going. A sidewalk, 3.5 inches think, a 5 bag per yard will work. If you are talking about anything larger, driveway, pole barn floor, I would go 5.5 inches, old school wire, and a 5 or 6 bag mix, form and level it, then call my friend and have him finish. Last job he did for me, pole barn floor 6 inches thick, 30x50. He charged me $500 labor, got contractor's discount on concrete because he does this for a living and he was done before noon on a Saturday morning. George
