Default Bag of cement weight/size?

Is 7 half bags enough for the 2 cubic metres of concrete I specified?


2 cubic metres of concrete is nearly 5 tonnes in weight:
You'd need about 3 times that much cement

Have you looked at getting it delivered by a "mix on site" truck -
would be a lots quicker for foundations than mucking about with a
small
mixer


Have you actually used one of these firms? Have a look at the thread I
started called "Mixed-on-site concrete - a warning" (April 2006) to see
why I I'll never use this sort of outfit again.
