"Getting ready to put a cement floor in one room in the sugarhouse. Never have used cement before. Hope all go's well."

I feel compelled to warn you that the best floor made with cement starts with a little sand, gravel, and water in a mixer to make concrete. The cement dust will just be a mess. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I can't imagine using a mixer for concrete on anything larger than a small section of floor. Last fall I used a good size mixer to do a sidewalk by our deck. Working as fast as I could, with no help, I could only do a section 3 feet by 4 feet by 4 inches thick at a time. And I had pre measured all the dry ingredients in 5 gallon pails for each batch ! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
