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.


Well, 50'x4'x4" = 66 cuft = 104 2/3cuft bags.

You may wich to consider renting a mixer.
