I'm doing some concrete work. Math made easy....
I told the contractor what I wanted to do, he told the concrete company, they calculated it (using an app, no doubt) and delivered just enough concrete there was just enough left over to erect two barrier posts made of abs sewer pipe (left-over) to protect my electric meter, which I've almost backed into a few times. I "calculated" it was cheaper to do that than what the electric boys would charge me to fix up the meter/line should I damage it.....and had the fore-thought to prep for any left-over 'crete..
When they deliver the next pour in a few weeks, I think I'll prep in front of the garage doors for same... tired of sand/gravel to be swept out....and no sense dumping left-over 'crete somewhere else in the yard, eh?
Reading up in my copy of "Math for Idiots", and running the nummers was way too hard.....
