If the home improvement project you're planning involves mixing concrete, Eric Stromer has some helpful trade secrets to share with you that will make the whole process a lot easier. From mixing tubs to dust masks, learn what you need to do to make your cement project a success!

Step 1: Protect Yourself
Whenever you create anything that utilizes concrete, there are a few things you need: concrete mixing tub, a shovel—and of course, gloves and a mask.
