Sand and concrete

Here are some photos of standard practice here:
This pickup truck bed is entirely full of sand.
It is sold by the "cubic meter," which is one truckful.
The driver of the truck brings the sand (or gravel
or dirt) and unloads it at your property with a shovel.
This is the standard way of mixing concrete,
wearing rubber boots.  Here José is
finishing up a batch.
