What was the %, was it 1 1/4 - ? That's impressive it either will or won't! Seems to be the design at the end.

Haha. I could have told you it would work. Here in Norway we always use 3'' for the big rock. But 25% redused rock amount. For the nutgravel we use 2,5'' hoses. The hoes man can just keep the end in his hands. And for filling cracks we have 2''. But than you need concrete without rock. Last week I had some 4'' hoses again because we had a mix that couldn't be redused. It was a bridge. But MY GOD those 4'' are heavy!!! I can't understand how we managed!!! Good luck ;-)
