Update on Costs
Cement mixer has cost me $299 for the petrol engine, $13.20 for welding rods and mild steel to patch the holes.
I also was forced to buy a compass so we can get true north accurately on the block, that was a proper map compass (yeah I know, WTF is a compass and who the hell uses maps in the day of GPS) and cost $12.99 from Ray’s Outdoors.
Total spend to date is now at $214 507.20
