Would you like to see more of these calculators and estimators on our site? If so, what would you like to see? What other types of online tools would you like to see?

How about a floor joist table - spans and dimension, etc.

Also wood flooring and ceramic tile calculators.

It's nice to have all these calculators in one place, rather than having to go to three or four different websites.

A ceramic tile/flooring estimator including cost calculation would be awesome! I agree with JAC that is it great having everything in one place!

it would be nice to have a calculator for building stairs. also you may want to include description for terms used. overall, a great idea and service

How about a brick calculator too?

That would be most helpful...

These calculators and estimators are a great idea! Now that I have discovered them, I will use them often.

How about an asphalt calculator? We have 300' of driveway to put in.

Hi! I'd love to be able to have use of a retaining wall calculator so I know how many blocks I will need to purchase, including maximum height allowed for various block brands.
Thanks

I think the estimators are especially helpful to the people that are not in construction. The figures that they get are not always accurate. It would be best if they used the figures as a rough estimate. I am an estimator and I know when you use sq.ft. only, you are probably going to come up short. I find this especially when figuring flooring. I've tested this theory and the 2 ways of figuring never come out the same, even with the waste factor.

What would be extremely useful is a dictionary of construction terms. Not only would it inform, it would also help the homebuyer in describing their ideas to their builder. It would save alot of change orders!

Are these helpful?

I tank part time on an unholy dk and a ret pally. IMHO, the most important thing is to worry less about topping the damage meters and more about threat levels. That's not so hard as long as you're smart about your taunts and the threat on other group members. I'd recommend getting a mod that keeps track of threat if you have trouble with that, Omen makes a nice one that gives you a good loud warning tone when you're dropping or gaining threat. You can't really do much to help it if you have a bad PUG group who consistently refuse to assist tank and pulls aggro off you. If you're looking for more specific help, it would help to know what class/spec you're playing as a tank.
