Have you looked at batch-mix wagons, we had one a couple of years since for a 5mx5mx100mm workshop base for my grandad and that was about £400 all in, in Barnsley.

yeah but so far this build has taken 3 years and ive only got a base as yet, ive been so busy with work etc.
Ive ordered all the blocks, sand and cement to complete.
Ive had several offers of a loan (cheers Guys) but would sooner have my own, doesnt matter if it takes a while then really

Im looking forward to being able to fit both 90`s in and work on either of them under cover with out having to travel 15 miles to where its kept now

Yeah
cheers for the heads up Trewey i dont really get weight and volume being a sparks so dont really know, its just what the builders merchant said i needed, but i guess its better coming from the guy who does it rather than the guy who sells it.I asume a ratio of 3 sand to 1 cement?
