Not always sure if these posts are genuine , but heres what you do , tip a 25kg bag of chippings on the floor and spread it out evenly ,sprinkle some cement and some sand over the top , then some water from a watering can (make sure it's got one of them sprinkly things on or the water ends up in one place and you wont get a true measurement) then scrape up one square foot and count the pebbles, TADAAA

thanks guys, might have to measure for the ones on the ground too:RpS_thumbsup: Im a newbie here, been plastering about 12 yrs. Wet dash used to be done all the time here (R.o.i) when i was an apprentice, now its just the odd extension -match. So i always over estimated before. Heres one for ye.. Scudder: homemade or bought item? which do you use? Im a fan of making my own, always ends up a lighter and better feel,
anyway, thanks again

thanks again.
