Cubic Meter query?
 
Hi,

Does anyone have any idea how big in layman's terms is 15 cubic meters? Doesn't seem a lot to me. Just checking something out.

Cheers

Ginny

Thanks for that. Couldn't figure that one out but just trying to get an idea of what I can fit in.

Ah, the sofa may be 3 x 1 x 1 but with packing materials it was 4 x 2 x 2 :D

(why couldn't they have knackered that old thing then we could have had a new one)

My second excuse - it was about midnight when I typed that and I was seeing double :D

And my third excuse is - have you seen the size of sofas out here? Everyone knows everything is bigger and better out here :D

It isn't a statement of my beer preference. The avatar is the same as the t-shirt I used to wear to Meets so people recognised me. I stopped wearing it in about July and haven't had a succesful meet since so I am going back to wearing it. :)

Hi,

Think of a room 3m by 5m (or 10' by 16') and pack the floor to a depth of 1.0m (3' 3''). That is 15 cu-m.

Hope this helps,

Jon
