Worked procedures

1.  Multiply the length (A) of all walls
    by the height (B) of all walls.
2.  Subtract square footage of all openings (C).
3.  Divide the result by 5.3
    (the number of square feet per block).
4.  The result is the number of blocks required.

Overage of 2 to 5 percent is recommended;
the formula does not allow for waste.
