I came to 97.71 yards and I couldn't figure out why we were so close to each other and yet not the same until used a different method of calculation. My formula was 6500 *.33/27 * 1.23=97.72. I guess Dale used 6500/27/12*1.23=98.7.
Shows what rounding off numbers can do but over this size of job 1 yard isn't worth quibbling about.
