Math question

Straight-8 said:
DON'T get six cubic yards unless your flower garden is about the size of a football field! By my calculations six cubic yards would cover 324 square yards (2916 Sq Ft) to a depth of 2 inches. If you have a really big garden, get a cubic yard. If you need more, top up with a bag or two. If you have a small to medium garden, go with the bags. They'll be easier to transport, you can adjust volume easily and the extra few $$ isn't enough to have to learn math over :D .


Right on! In addition to doing math, you'd also need to figure how to get rid of mounds o' excess mulch.
 
Construction math

All I know is that you should be very carefull when dealing with contractors or construction types.
Anyone who would sell you a 2x4 that is really 1 1/2" x 3 1/2" is basically cheating you! :)

And 6' cables are the length measured BEFORE cutting, crimping, pinning the connectors, so your 6' printer cord is about 5 1/2' and

A 6' mouse cord comes out to 4'? Why ARE mouse cords so short????
:confused:

Have you seen how realtors measure square feet in listing a home for sale? You can have a 30% difference between an honest one and a shister.

Yep, I screw up the 27feet thing a few days ago. I was thinking of a 1x1 square, 27 each. (Old age, yeah, that's it.)
