Re: Brick Expansion Rate and Volume of 40 Meters of Brick Wall?

When you say 40m of brickwall do you mean 40m2??

If so you are looking at 2400 bricks these alone will weigh somewhere in the region of 6 tonnes + the mortar used to lay them in the region of an other 2 tonnes.

Now if you lay them in the skip with no voids you might get them all in a 8 yrd skip.

Re: Concrete Base for Summer House - Some Advice Required

Just wondering if you have done this yet, if so did you get more than half way across the base with just two tonnes of concrete mix???

At the very lest you would need four tonne of ballets to cover an area of this size at 100mm depth.
