Moses is right. For 250lbs worth - get the tub. Clean all the tools before the stuff dries and you will be glad you did..

I was house lead on a Habitat house in India last year. The local laborers had the mixing job.. They would remove their flip-flops, stand in the dry mix and pray - and then mix a batch of mortar. Not too caustic, as the mix had very little lime in it.. They worked all day for about a US$1 buck..
