Perhaps the office boy was questioning your hole being only 6cm deep?

Even if he thought it was four holes @ 60x60x60cm then 1m^3 would have

A five-fold overkill.

You forgot there were 3 holes?


Doesn't 6 to 1 mix mean 6 parts sand to 1 part concrete.


6 bags ballast 1 bag cement.

Ok, I guess the 3m^3 concrete consisted of both ballast and cement.

I wasn't sure if the office boy had ordered 3m^3 of just cement.

I probably wouldn't make a good office boy either. ;o)
