Mix your own
cement
Learn to use basic cement building materials:
Dear
readers, this article about mix your own cement is a very long article that
deals about mixing concrete and other things used in the building industry, so
we are going to break it up and write e few posts that are more readers
friendly and compatible with the average blog readers of today, so, if you like
to follow us you need to read a few posts that we are going to publish in the
near future:
Anyhow, we could
say that we have called this article, “mix our own cement”, when in reality we
could have called it ‘mix your own concrete’ because that is the real name that
we use in the building trade, but for the people that are not in the building
trade, when they think about concrete and other cement products, the first word
that comes to their mind is cement.
Anyhow here we are going to mix other building things as
well, and the name mix your own cement covers them all. So, here we are
inviting you to learn how to use and recognize the most basic concrete building
materials and other materials that are used together with Portland cement, so
that you might be able to do many cement (concrete) things yourself.
The reason why we are writing these posts here about how to
mix your own cement (concrete), it is because we would like to pass our
knowledge of how these things were done in the past and even today; we would
also aim this article to those people that are willing to do some building
themselves and they need just a bit more knowledge to give them the courage to
do it; and last but not least to those people that live in poor countries,
where building skills and material are scarce and therefore they need a bit
more knowledge to do some building themselves, as long as they can buy some
Portland cement and/or lime to mix it with; so in a way this article is a D.I.Y
article that could benefit some people in the community, at least we hope that
it would.
-------------------------------
This is a small concrete or mortar mix that is used on the building sites, it would help to mix all ingredient together to a very good standard, if you know what to do with it.
This article “mix your own cement” (concrete) is going to be
a long and detailed way of how to make concrete from scratch using Portland
cement and the other basic materials required, we will also describe how to mix
mortar for the bricklayer and cement plaster, just by using the most basic
building materials and mixing them with Portland cement and/or lime. We will
describe how this is done today and most of all we will be describing how these
things were done in the recent times, because we believe that it could be
helpful even today to know that. We believe that in the world there are places
that could use the old procedure and we can even use it ourselves, when the
modern ways are not readily available or they are too expensive to use, because
of where you happen to be, or for other reasons.
We have to say that today building anything has become a lot
easier, because most things that we need are ready made for us to use, provided
we are living in a city or large town in the western world and also in many
other parts of the world. In our case we are talking about how to use cement
and the many things that we could do with it: Now let us suppose we need some
concrete, we can order it and have it delivered whenever we want it, it is this
simple, and many other things we can buy or order as long as we are in the
right places and have money to pay for it.
But these things were not so in the past, in the past people
that were building had to have their own skills how to mix their own concrete,
how to mix their own mortar and many other things, and sometimes they had even
to find the building materials themselves, before they could even start to
build anything, they were not easy times and people in the know tried to keep
their knowledge for themselves. But today it is completely different some of
the knowledge they had and kept to themselves has become completely
insignificant compared to the things that we know and do today; so to keep any
knowledge for your own self might be the wrong thing to do, because it is not
going to help you, but it could help some people if it becomes common
knowledge.
You see, what we are talking about here is not like a secret
recipe to make something special and you are the only person that knows it and
you believe that one day you could make money from it, no it is not like that
at all; what we are talking here is common knowledge that lots of people know
already, but because things are changing this knowledge does not mean much to
those that know it anymore, but it could be very useful for those people that
don’t know yet, because they might happen to be in a different part of the
world or they just don’t know and would like to know, how these things are done.
Therefore, today we are afraid that some of those personal
skills that the average building bloke needed in the past are becoming things
of the past, so, one day all these known skills could be lost and/or only a
very small amount of people will know them, so we would like to write these
building skills down, so that some people may still use them if and when the
need arises.
So, this article here is being written in the hope that our
article could help those poor people that are not aware that they could be able
to build a better place for themselves, if they are be able to learn and
recognize the very basic materials they need to use for building these better
places for themselves.
Most of the building materials that we are talking about
here are available anywhere in the world, because they occur in the natural
state as they are part of this great planet earth, so what are those building
materials you may ask? And also how we
mix them you would like to know, so here under is a link from YouTube that
shows you how to mix concrete;

We would like also to point out with these photos here under
what is available in Brisbane Australia, and then we will talk about those
building materials that occur anywhere in the world, in our next post. See you
later.

These are some concrete plants in Brisbane Australia, you are able to order any amount of concrete from these plants and they deliver it on your site with these concrete trucks.
