The first part in extending the concrete slab the garden shed sits on was repairing the broken corner (outlined in red here). This corner was broken and settled with a sizable crack between it and the rest of the slab. The repair is about 1-1/2 inches thick in the lower corner in the picture, tapering to nothing on the upper-right edge. I bought some 'Sand/Topping' mix, which is essentially concrete without the gravel. That 60lb bag turned out to do only about half. Luckily I started on the thinnest end! It took another 60lb bag of regular concrete to finish it.
The main pour is all prepped and ready to go. But after moving all those bags of concrete, I was done for the weekend. Lift in the store, lift into the car, lift out of car into wheel barrow, lift out of wheel barrow. I count I lifted a 60lb bag 76 times! That's a total of 4,560 lbs.
