Anybody have the link to an article on fashioning a concrete mixer
from a washing-machine tub, some pipes, a small electric motor, and,
possibly, lard?


How much concrete are you going to be mixing? *There's a small plastic
bucket-with-baffles that takes a 60 pound bag of concrete, the lid
measures out the correct amount of water, and it's laid down and you
kick it back and forth for a minute or so, then pour. *It works well,
it's cheap, portable, stores easily, etc., etc.

That's a possibility. My son wants to replace a 50' sidewalk in front of his
house.


Not for that quantity, unless the guy needs exercise in a bad way.
There's almost 2 CY in that sidewalk. Get ready mix. It's not even
close to a decision.
