Hiho. Long post ahead.
I've already upped a version of my spreadsheet for calculating material amounts and costs.
I feel it didn't really get the attention it deserved, so I beefed it up with more calculators. I've also made it simpler to use, and more precise.
I also figure people didn't want to spend time figuring out numbers before knowing what the damn thing could do
Therefore, it comes with the products I use listed. Most of them aren't availible on the UK market, as there are different regulations over here in Sweden. I've included them for demonstrational purposes.
I think it's awesome. Once you've entered the specs of the products you use, which you only need to do one time, it literally takes less than two minutes to figure out exactlly how much you need for a particular job, and how much it's going to cost.
It includes calculators for primer (with a function for dilution with water), leveling compounds (with a function for dilution with sand or granite chippings), waterproofing systems, adhesives, grout, and silicone. It sums up the costs automatically, and calculates the cost per square metre.
I figure it's going to be particularly useful to those who are new at this game, and who don't "measure with the eyes" yet.
Instructions are included. Any questions, just ask.
Tell me if you like it once you've tried it. Feedback is very welcome. Do tell if I translated anything poorly, or not at all
