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

A average sofa is 3m by 1m by 1m so 3m3
So 15m3 will be 5 sofas

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

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
