Here were the recent computations I performed when considering
different types of concrete options.
Amount needed: 2.1 yards
1. Red-Mix cost: $345.98, includes:
$97/yard cost
$75 min. load fee (because its a small amount)
$68 mileage fee (I live in the sticks -- don't all true hams?)
2. Quikcrete cost: $362.54, includes:
$3.85 per 0.6 cu. ft. bag
94.1 bags needed
no charge for mixer (borrowed from neighbor)
3. Mix your own cost
Lost my worksheet for this, but I calculated a cost of $190 for just
the Portland cement. Given that I would have to make two hauls in my
pickup bed to get the gravel and sand, I quickly concluded that
Redi-Mix was the only feasible option.
