DIY PROJECT EXAMPLES
The following are basic examples showing how to esti-
mate material quantities for various DIY projects.
These examples use industry standards for materials (see
"Default/Standard Values for Materials" ); however, some
values can be customized, if desired (see following sec-
tion, "Project Examples–Using Custom Settings" ).
You may want to factor in a Waste Allowance for ordering
sufficient quantities of materials. For example, add 10%
(+ 1 0 Ç 8 (%) ) to your total. See "Tiles: Number
of" for an example of this.

here (i.e., calculator may display "Paver" bricks instead of
"Face" bricks), since the calculator will show the last
brick type that was displayed. Consecutive presses of the

types and the original entry (of length).
