Helpers will be necessary for a large project that requires ready-mixed cement. First make sure that a truck can get to the area of your project to dump the cement on your prepared foundations. If there is no access for the truck, then you will need helpers to take the cement from the truck to the project site in wheelbarrows. Also take into consideration that a heavy truck may damage your property, get stuck or tip over if the ground it travels over is too soft. Make sure the amount of cement you esti- mated for the project is accurate before you order.
Trucks usually bring more than enough cement so have an area ready for the excess.
Have a precise time ready for the cement to be delivered, preferably early in the morning. Measure the length and width of the project in feet. Measure the thickness of the concrete you need. Now you will have the number of cubic yards of concrete you'll need. Add on more concrete than you need to the cubic yards.
