There is a good reason cement is used so often in construction and home improvement projects. It’s readily available, incredibly versatile, and learning to build with it is fairly accessible. You can purchase it in bulk, and have it delivered for large projects like pouring a foundation for your shed. You can pick it up from your local hardware store in small batch bags, and bring it home in the back of your car. One step you’ll need to get right is mixing the cement to the right consistency. This could be done with a shovel and wheelbarrow in a pinch, but you’re far better off using a dedicated cement mixer to get the job done right the first time.
