Remember when we all used to mix by hand?

I dropped about $1,200 on a portable mixer from Multiquick about five years back, thinking it was a silly luxury. That thing saved my back and my schedule on a big foundation job in Akron, mixing three times faster than my old method. Now I see the new kids with their fancy electric wheelbarrows and feel like an old timer. Anyone still using a hoe and a tub, or has everyone moved on?

My back hurts just reading that. The old way was a full workout before the real work even started. We've earned the right to use the good tools now.

Oh wow, I still see guys using a hoe and tub for small patches all the time! It's not totally gone yet.
