Default Foundation slab - queries and good practices...

Doh!! Maybe I hit the plus sign?!? Who knows what I did! Well,
still, at 32 yards, $160 will get you fill dirt!

Based on my calcs, I am going to need just under a foot of fill - so ~864

or about 32 yards. If I use rock for fill, it will come to just over 800
bucks. I don't know how much fill dirt is or which is the better way to


go.


That seems expensive, but how often do I buy rocks? I was planning on
renting a compactor....

I got less than that for cubic yards. 24x36x1=144 cubic feet / 27=5.33
yards x $24 ( for class II base in my area, per yard ) = $128 . Fill
dirt in my area is $5 a yard, so using your cubic yards of 32, fill dirt
would cost you $160. http://www.ofwolfinbargerinc.com Or did I miss
one of your numbers somewhere?
