Cement base in basement for laundry

Not as easy or as cheap as 12.33 suggests.He’s way off with his material estimate and price.
So you want to play G.C for the day.Here’s a few things to remember.
Your day laborer will more than likely not have basic carpentry skills or tools.He won’t have concrete finishing tools or mixing tubs, shovels etc.I take it as GC you will have all these.
Will he be able to finish the concrete? Going off with him to buy materials will eat up a couple of hours.Don’t fall for the ‘it’s only a half hour job’. Will your vehicle be able to carry the lengths of 2×4’s? Are you fluent in Spanish and able to communicate exactly what you want to be done.Getting the material into the basement will take more time.35sq feet is at four inch depth of concrete just under half a yard. So you need approx 20 bags of grit(sand and stone mixed) and three bags of portland.A piece of wire never goes astray.Big difference between 6 and 20.If you could do all that you could get the job done for about $300. A contractor would charge you about %500. but you’d have no running around to do, no checking your Spanish phrase book or looking for other tasks for your day slave and no need to supply tools or materials.
