That size of shed base with a 4" depth of concrete (more than adequate,
no reinforcing needed) would take 3 tons. There is no need for vibrateywhatsits. Presuming the dig is done and shuttering is ready, 2 muppets with a mixer and barrow could comfortably do that in a day.@Silly_Savage: nice pointing!
ColinTheBald-
Amazing, appreciated as always. I saw the 3ton (or just shy of) estimate on a few calculators, but good to know about the reinforcing delete.
I may be able to convince ms_com that it's something me and a mate could do. Have the mate's better half and offspring round as a distraction and call it socialising.

This will be a big chunk of the balance. Although, I'd actually love to do it. Getting a full day where I'm not either working or beingabadparentandneglectingmydaughterrememberthistimeispreciousandifyouwasteitdoingthingstoimproveourfamilyhomeyoureabastardyoumonster is another thing. I can clear the area and maybe even shutter in 1 to 2 hour bursts.
I'm glad you know the technical terms, because I don't.
