Excuse me, but did you quote concrete at $749 PER YARD^3 ?

That's what it said. Most likely Ms Kennedy doesn't know the difference
between cement and concrete.

Are you suggesting cement goes for $564-749 a yard? I don't think the
math works out for that in a typical six bag mix. That would be
roughly $90/yd for cement alone (on the low end), and the aggregate
and sand hasn't even been added in yet. Nor have the other rents the
concrete company has to account for.

However, I'm struck by something else--there are typically 564 lbs of
cement in a cubic yard of concrete (six bag mix--according to the
website I looked at). That number looks disturbingly familiar. What
are the odds that some facts got mixed up somewhere?
