We can add “poorly-mixed concrete” to my list of life accomplishments. The preschoolers and I been working on a little low fence at school to hang some fence buckets that can hold outdoor building materials – sticks, pinecones, etc. – and today we really got a lot done. The children ‘helped’ dig the holes a couple of weeks ago, and today we set the posts in, tacked up the cross-boards, and I filled it in with some no-mix (i.e. – ‘really hard to understand directions’) cement. I made it a bit too wet (I think), but the posts are short and are buried pretty deep, so I think we’re good.
I forgot to take a photo. Maybe tomorrow I can show you the ‘final’ product.
