Masonry/concrete construction: On the job mixers by EZ Grout: Near left are two Mud Hog machines which can mix mortar, concrete, and grout, primarily for masonry construction. They are gasoline or electrically driven. At right rear is Grout Hog machine to mix grout primarily for use in masonry construction. Mortar is mixture of cement, sand, and water stiff enough to build masonry walls. Grout is similar but flows easily to fill cavities, particularly in and between masonry units, such as brick and concrete block. Concrete is mixture of portland cement, sand, gravel, and water. World of Concrete, Las Vegas, January 2006.
