    Mega Movers show

    Diesel Question

    I have a client with 2 half full blue plastic 55 gallon drums about half full of diesel. These have been in his shed for "several" years and we are taking the shed down.

    I'm not sure how many of us here get to work on projects like this, but I thought I'd share some pics from a different angle. On the way to go fishing around a month ago I took these. This is I believe a 6 lane bridge that will replace a 4 laner that had its better days.

    Estimating volume of material pile?

    I'm betting there is a good formula out there to estimate the volume of a pile if you have a measurement of its circumference, the height, and the angle of the slope?? I think I missed that day of algebra or trigonometry, or maybe the principal had me in his office? :( Anyway, a new client...
