How much concrete can I lay on my own

[Origin Unknown]

I have been let down by both my pals to help me lay a concrete base tomorrow. So question is this, can I get the lot down on my own?

16m2 @ ~100mm deep, straight onto a DPM. I'll have ballast and cement right next to shuttering. I was planning to put the mixer in the middle and just load, mix and pour as quick as I can. Tamping will be the issue but I could probably rope the wife into helping with that.

15 bulk bags in a day! Were your arms 2" longer at the end of the day?!

So, assuming a 5:1 mix and straight onto a DPM, how wet should I go and how long have I got to play with it?

Thanks chaps for the confidence. I'll report back tomorrow including mix to swear ratio. Shuttering is all in order and firm, wife has agreed to lend a hand with tamping (which will increase the mix to swear ratio).

Its trapezium/wonky rectangle shaped, ~3M wide and length is 4.8 on the long edge and 3.8 on the short edge.

I suspect a wet mix will work, I'm not parking anything on it so it doesn't need to be mega strong.

Thanks mate. That helps me

Thanks for the help and direction chaps, slab laid on saturday thanks to gap in the rain.

I was well short of ballast!

Rain came in late on Saturday so it's been sheeted up with poly since then. I would like to get the metal shed erected on Saturday which mean it'll have 6 days to cure. Long enough? I was going to keep it under poly until then, correct?

Cheers mate!
