RE: [papercreters] portland cement

Perhaps you can line the drums with large plastic bags before filling them with cement.

In transit from just out of Houston, hope to be going Elk City, OK for retirement job. HAHA but got to try it, don't have that many more years to try. Can load into seal-able drums and hope humidity doesn't go too deep.

You are getting OPC 8 bucks a 94 pound equal. Sounds like a pretty good deal to em if you can keep it dry and the hail off of it.
Where are you now?

I set up a ramp and rolled the drums off the back of the pickup. I had a friend there and we were able to set the drums up pretty easily. Perhaps the 45% fly ash made the mixture lighter? It works very well in papercrete.

If it is easy for you to move 1 ton of cement in drums that is a good deal. It would cost me $224 before tax for that much cement. I pay $11.19 per bag of Portland.

I read that everyone uses or seems to use bag cement. I checked here 
with the batch plant and they will sell to me in bulk (4--55gal drums) 
for $140.00 a ton. Just checking to see what folks use?
Thanks for any replys.
