[Strawbale] Lime Plaster, The Magic Numbers

[Debbie Johnson-Jackson]

Thanks Rob,

It is oh so obvious how to calculate it when shown so well. The only  
tricky part was getting the volume of the Lime,
which is of course not written on the bag. In the end I just measured  
the outside dimensions of the bag and used
that as a ruff number (1.4 cu. ft). I checked this measuring method  
by measuring a bag of sand and cement that
I knew the volumes of and the measured values came out very close to  
the actual values.
Anyway, thank you for your help it is clear that a truck load of sand  
is indeed in order!

			Cheers,
