Yes definately rent a mixer. Home depot rents them in 4 hour intervals. (ie. 4 hours, 1 day, 1.5 days, etc.). So 4 hours = .5 day. As I recall it cost me about $65 for the day. Definately do NOT mix more than 2 bags of crete by hand. You'll be too tired to pour it, and too frustrated to complete the project.

Rent the mixer, buy the 40 pound bags. Easier to lift, open and pour into the mixer than the 80 pound bags.
