Mixing mortar by hand is actually better than a mixer, fight me

Most crews think I'm crazy for skipping the power mixer, but I swear you feel the texture better. Had to do a quick repair with just a hoe and bucket, and it came out smoother than any machine job, lmao.

Got to disagree. When you're on a timeline, that mixer speed isn't just a luxury.

On a big foundation pour last year, we had a tight three day schedule for the masons. Running two mixers non stop was the only way to hit it, probably saved a full week of labor overall.
