Ok, this is where i'm stopping today (mixing concrete by hand is hard work). What i like about these molds is you can stop anytime you want. We had some old bags of concrete in the shop that were starting to get a little hard, so i'm using them up so they dont go to waste.

Working with concrete reminds me of my late father, who worked concrete for many years. When i was very young he would take me with him on jobs like driveways or sidewalks. He was very conscientious about leaving the customer's yard clean, so i would pick up nails off the ground after he pulled up the forms. He would have loved to see me working with concrete. #grownostr #concrete #homesteading #memories

If you have a paint stirrer, and a cordless drill, mixing concrete in a 5gal bucket is pretty easy and cheap.

Hilarious i was doing the same thing! Different mold. It is damn hard work.

That's funny😊. We had these old bags of concrete that i wanted to use up. I thought about using those 16 inch square stepping stones from the hatdware store, but those have gotten kinda pricey for what they are.

This is what mine is looking like. I did the extra steps of buying the stuff to do texture stamping. I take the concrete blocks apart after curing and set them tight together. Its way too much work. I started this last year. Trying finish it this year lol

I hadnt thought about taking them apart like that, interesting. But yes, i can see how that makes for alot more work. It looks great though.

Looks very well done! 👏
