Hopefully someone can advise,

I have paving repairs to make to patio laid by previous owners.

Indian sandstone patio slabs are popping up (5 spots).

I'm planning on doing it at my leisure (maybe 5m2 per weekend off) as I'm struggling for free time, so it wouldn't be economic to keep hiring a mixer.

I already have a good corded drill and saw a berg paddle mixer at screwfix specially designed for viscocius mixes (concrete) at 19.99.

I have checked paving expert calculators and to relay one 3x2 wod need approx 50kg sand plus cement.

Just wondered if anybody had done this before or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Hopefully someone can share there experiences.

Thanks
Thank-you for helping.
