You told me it cost too much  Just 4.25 a sac for ready mix cement and the job was finished in under two hours.  |

Minor point. It's ready mix mortar. A mix of soft sand and cement. And in all likelihood, a better quality of sand than the loose sharp sand at your local brico. A better choice than bags of rmc.

It was nice and easy to mix in a mixer and easy to use laying block work. Ideal for rendering if you add some lime. |

You can get ready mix concrete in most DIY stores prices from 4.25 euros for eco ones or 7 euros for a good brand. I wish. Closer to €9/bag ex. VAT - 25kg here. Alternatively I can drive 120km (7litres fuel) and buy gravel at 3.25 per 35kg bag. sand at the same price and cement at 5.90 per 35kg bag. Do the sums and see how little you need to buy to make a day trip a bargain. |

In my defence we get 100% tax allowance against building material there is no question on the costings mixing your own is cheaper but on small jobs it's quicker and easier for me to use the ready prepared sacs and it's easier on the body.
