This week's exciting video is about showing how my temporary workshop floor I did a year ago is holding up. This floor was made using local earth soil mixed with cement to make an earth cement, aka soil-cement floor.


After watching this video you will know how to do it yourself and you will be able to save a lot of money if you use this method.


The total cost: labor and the cement powder, (dependant if you can get the soil for free, or you already have it in your backyard).


A special thanks to Dalton Hardware (Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa) for sponsoring the cement.

It turned out that the soil I used was 3 cubic meters (or roughly 3000kg). To add a 10% mixture of cement, required 300kg of cement. Which translates to 6 x 50kg bags.


Formula = for every 10 parts of soil, add 1 part cement.
