Happy New Year to all. Hope this year picks up in the construction world. Was wondering if anyone could give me a rough idea how much drypack( sand and cement) would weigh.

140-150 pounds per cu/ft is a good starting point for any dirt/sand/gravel or cement "guess".
Portland cement is 94 pcf and dry sand is 90-100 pcf (wet it's 120-130 pcf).

Thanks guys, just needed a rough calculation for a deck that I will hopefully finish soon, that is when all this fluffy white #### and cold weather takes a hike.
