And I'll add your entire "estimation" series of videos was EXACTLY what I needed to understand my only DIY projects. You've earned another subscriber! THANK YOU!!!!
How what a complicated way to figure that. Just do L x W = sq ft. Divide that by 81 to get 4 inches. Then just double it for 8 inches, triple for 12 inches, etc, etc.
I have never seen this method but it does work. But If using a calculator I don't see how it is any easier. Thanks for the info, I can teach it as a second method, this method may be easier to understand for some students.
Thank you for your knowledge. Saving me from flopping on an estimate
Great video that told me exactly what I should be concerned with using a real world application.
Thank you!!!

I do understand the way you explained. I’m into it.
Thank you sir
This man seems a little shy but double sharp. He instills an odd confidence. Reminds me of a Skyrim Greybeard.
How do you determine the width x depth of a footing for a slab? Trying to figure my project and cannot find that info
It depends on the type of soil and the weight of the building. Ask a local contractor, they should know.
thanks bro, much appreciated, very berry much
Works for block walls as well right? Footing L x W x H ÷27 ?
Yes, you can put a block wall on the footing using that equation for the concrete
where does the 27 come from?
There are 27 cubic ft in a cubic yd
So basically we waisted 6 minutes to learn something that can be done in 30 seconds or less by an online concrete calculator. Good stuff.
am I missing something ? I added everything and did not come up with 190
If you add all the numbers for the perimeter 50+30+15+15+20+15+15+30 they equal 190 linear ft

@@timpalmer-logstolumber1999 maybe it just seems easier to me because that how I learned it when I was a kid. I don’t math too good😂
So in my class I learned that the length is calculated by center line
There is usually more than one way of doing things. The main thing is that you have enough concrete and not a little short.
