You mean you mix your own concrete? I have seen that in Argentina with footings and a little drum mixer. I would think that would take too long and the bottom of the pour would be set, before you are done, so you would have to constantly check plumb and straightness of the ICF walls. Let alone labor intensive.


saludos, back at you.

yes,  I mix the concrete in the construction ( with this machine http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1421179&l=67e17&id=612317804  ) with a machine that elaborates and pumps the concrete
with a yield of 15 to 20 cubics meters  by day pumping it to 20 metes of height
 in the United States I have seen that they do the strained one in a single day
we do it  in several days by which a cold pour joints is caused to us and
we considered that this within the tolerance structures that you think?
