wtf?
Dig half an meter into the ground and put wooden plates into it to get a flat surface.
Now you put scrap iron into it to stabilize the structure.
Too make the cement you need the bag, water, a large bin/can and a shovel.
Yes it is going to be hard and very difficult, but you can build it.

thelastpaco (01/09/2016) [-] I'm going to have to call ******** on it falling down. I did a bunch of relief work down in the Dominican republic and that is even nicer than we made our concrete. We used dirt, some cement mic and a tarp. Dumped some water on the pile and just started mixing. We built a bunch of houses and a community center. 4 years later they are still there, perfectly fine, after a lot of heavy use.

thelastpaco (01/09/2016) [-] That is entirely not true. If the wall is anything other than thin as **** (it shouldn't be if you are building a ******* cement wall) it will not just break. Also, most cement walls are build with a sort of reinforcement inside, typically rebar, sometimes wood. I have worked quite a lot with concrete, and it is solid **** . You are grossly under estimating its strength, and over estimating the work it takes to use, and amount of money it costs. I mean, look at that wall. Tell me you could kick it down, It is a poured concrete wall.

dazartimm (01/09/2016) [-] Poured concrete and bag mix cement are entirely different. The original discussion was that a well constructed concrete wall spanning the length of this guy's yard would be very expensive. Bag cement is very different and much more brittle. I have seen people try to do similar things several times in my line of work and I have never seen a 5 foot+ wall made of bag cement that lasted any long amount of time.
