Premixed Concrete… We May Have Taken That Too Literally

Sometimes you read the words on a bag and decide to take them a little too literally.

In this case, the words were "premixed concrete."

If it's premixed, shouldn't you just be able to open the bag and pour it out?

Apparently not.

Wait... This Is Premixed?

My son decided to give us his very serious review of premixed concrete.

There was just one problem.

He opened the bag and discovered that the "premixed" concrete was completely dry.

Clearly, something had gone terribly wrong. 😂

So We Added Water

Since the concrete obviously wasn't ready to pour straight out of the bag, the logical next step was to add some water.

To the bag.

And shake it.

Because that's obviously how concrete works.

(Just in case it needs to be said: this was a joke. Please follow the actual mixing instructions on your concrete.)

Maybe "Premixed" Doesn't Mean What We Thought

As it turns out, premixed concrete doesn't mean someone was thoughtful enough to mix the water in before you bought it.

Who knew?

So while I wouldn't recommend using this video as your next concrete tutorial, I will give him credit for coming up with a much more entertaining interpretation of the instructions.

Projects Around Here Aren't Always Serious

We do a lot of actual projects around here — home renovations, building projects, makeovers, flipping things, and fixing things that probably would have been easier to just buy new.

But every once in a while, apparently we also review bags of concrete.
