    Sure.

    Btw how much concrete i should mix when i need 4 inch deep, 37 feet long and 13 feet wide pour, there is also 3,5 feet x 6 feet alcove. Lets add large pole or some other round shape on the mix with diameter of 46 3/4 inches on the middle of the structure.

    Wonder how many trips i nees to make to the hardware store when one bag of the concrete weigts 94 pounds and it makes 4,5 cubic feets of cement.

    Should i just eye ball it?

      Based on that sentence, I’d say you should retain the services of a professional for such a task. The basic geometry is trivial, as you well know. It’s everything else that is going to get you into trouble.

        Yeah. Sorry i mixed cement and concrete up. You know. That can happen when you writing in language that is only your third most proficient.

        And nice evasion for reacting to the example.

      by the sound of how they measure things with imperial units you might as well eyeball it.
