Quoting: Roadkill
Looks like a VERY sandy mix - no wonder it broke up !
HmmMm - the whole garage floor is the same. It seems pretty strong TBH though. The step was a little crusty though - maby the weather affects it more?

I assume you mean 90% cement ?
Yep, keep getting them mixed up. Cement makes concrete, Cement makes concrete - got it, got it!

If so that'll probably shatter in the first major frost unless you're very, very lucky . . .
AHHHHHHHH I did bad?
I assumed cement is the strongest thing out there if you don't dilute it, it's uber strong - I just assumed people don't use 100% because it would cost more than diluting it with sand
You know who's fault this is. The sand.

If you attack it again - give me a shout (if it's local) and I'll give you some on-site input.
Big thanks dude,
but it is at my parent's house, so Norfolk
A lil far for you I think - no matter how many beers I supply
I have a small step to build next as part of the Outside Office Conversion.
It's about 100x800x200mm dXhXw. This one is a bit different as I'm doing it from scratch, so I'll build shuttering first to box and fill it from there as you say.. See how that build goes
Thanks for your help thought RK. I've learnt a bit even though it doesn't look like it!
