You can do anything you set your mind to.

Get a sturdy wheelbarrow or garden cart to move the concrete from your vehicle to the area where you want to work. A hand truck would also work.

I once moved a 25" console TV (1980 model) by myself from the basement to the back of a Suburban. My mom and I moved an 18" (diagonal measurement) ceramic kiln from the third floor of a townhouse to the bottom floor.

I once moved a freezer out of the garage, on to a truck to bring it to recycling..sometimes it's easier to do it yourself than to keep asking. I can do anything I set my mind to. We made stepping stones from cement and de orated with colored glass in my preschool class. Just think about the shape...do you want a specific like a mold? Or do you want something freeformed.. .? A friend dumped a pile of sandbox sand in a frame and placed a huge rhubarb leaf veins up on the sand then globbed ( brownie mix batter thick) cement mix and tapered it thinly towards the edge 1 1/2" thick..when it set up and she removed the leaf..it was georgeous and she sealed and used it as a birdbath. But if you make the edges of the leaf thicker it would be ok for stepping stones.

If you can bake brownies and remove them from the pan, you can do stepping gstones. Just figure out how much mix you will need, add water to the bucket first, wear a mask and gloves .and have a rag to clean off your tools w clean water as soon as you are done.

i used to think that I was super woman. I was a plant superintendent making 6 figures a year. Once I was injured, I learned to see things a bit differently for my health...

think little red wagon....move manageable loads at a time. with the hill on house no.2 ....going up hill with the little red wagon, i would take a belt put it thru the handle of the wagon then across my torso and lean in to move it. as far as making your own pavers, check local prices, then look at the cost of needed equipment and suplies to make your own. then consider how often you will be making the pavers.

I would buy pavers if I needed many. A few stepping stones is no prob but I would not attempt a mass production because working in cement is heavy , hard work. You will get a workout just laying the pavers you purchase.

I have done it. Its real easy. All you need is the forms and the cement. Make sure you oil the inside of your form so the dried cement will slip out easily.

thank you Dianne. Finally someone that did not talk down to me ... lol. Just curious what type of oil that you used.
