I just pored an 12' x 12' x ~3" slab in one of my storage sheds. The
local ready-mix people will not deliver less than about 6 yards. (They
will deliver, but they charge for the full load.) I contacted a local
concrete finisher and got him to do my job (pore and finish) for $150.00
including the concrete. I did all the forms and prep.
I did have to wait for about 4 weeks until he accumulated several small
jobs that he could split a load of concrete between.
Sure beat all that mixing. It looks great.
