Jerry: 1) Keep it wet for at least a week the longer the better. 2) No problem in stripping the forms off after 2 weeks. The concrete will be at about 2/3 strength by then. Use this as the same time

Many thanks to all those who provided answers to my questions about concrete. The concensus was that 4000 lb concret with a 5" slump would do the job best, and that's what I'll be doing. Now if only

If you run into bedrock or granite ledge (as we call it here in The Granite State), just drill into it with a rock drill (I think you can rent them at the Home Despot). Then put rebar in at multiple

Mike: To be totally correct, you should consult the engineering drawings for your particular tower. If necessary, if you can tell the city inspector that you did the pour per the drawing, you have so

If only half a yard of concrete is needed it is quite practical to use a small concrete mixer and mix it on site. Even possible to mix that much by hand in a wheel barrow. Even for an old fart like m
