How many yards do you typically use in your projects
Would like to know how many yards you typically use in your projects? Foundations for houses, buildings, work in the building, bridges, tunnels, whatever you do I am interested in knowing how many yards it takes to do it.
Also, what kind of final sealers and additional work you do to protect against the enviornment your project is in.
thank you

The commercial jobs often don't have yards... just parking lots. And the residential jobs usually have a front yard and a back yard.

I'm hurt. He thinks it's a joke that we build homes with yards? Hey, I got a couple of little side yards at my house too.
And why didn't he ask how much of that C-ment stuff we use for dams?
