10 They always made it before, axle weights are an issue 10

56 Lessons Learned Follow the Mixing instructions, Mix the Premix and the Portland cement prior to the sand Have superplasticizer available to add as needed. High density and high viscosity create pressures we are not accustom to. (uplift pulled the screws through the 2x4 s) Post tensioning is simple and easy 58
