Realize that if the slab is thinner, then the cubic area will be less. Don’t know where you read the number of bags I used but if your calculation of 41 80# bags is required for the 12′ x 6′ x ?” then use that calculation when purchasing. You should always be able to return the excess unopened bags to the place purchased. 41 bags will represent quite a bit of work, so you might want to pace yourself by planning on more than one day. Separate the slab into specific sizes etc. Also, the mix comes in different tinsel strengths so, know what the end purpose of the slab will be and select the proper mixture to support your needs.

Their aren’t many diy videos for just poinrug a concrete patio and yours is about the best I’ve found. Very straight forward. I’m going to be making a slab soon of the same size 12 x 6 . I’ve been trying to get all the figures correct so I know what the cost will be. I noticed you said you used 30 80lb sacks. This confused me because most of the concrete calculators I have used say for that size I need to buy 41 80lb bags. Can you explain how you came to just use 30 bags?

Tiring is bteter. Unless you have the strength of two men, I would rent an electric or gas mixer. The first part will be a bit dried by the time you finish the last part, but screed as you go and in a 10 10 you could nearly finish the first 5-foot (smoothed and crack joint, broom finish and edges), such that it wouldn’t need much if any additional work later in the day. Or try pouring a 5 10 one day and the other half the next. Good luck and Motrin.
