rATHER FUNNY THAT THE cANDIAN CLAIMS HIS CEMENT TUBES ARE 1 METER IN DIAMETER AND MAYBE THREE FEET LONG, WHEN THEY ARE MORE LIKE 6 FEET LONG.oF COURSE HE DOESNT KNOW THIS SINCE THEY USE METRIC SYSTEM
um...no. those tubes are defintely not six feet long if they're a metre in diameter. Six feet is 1.8m - they're definitely not longer than they are wide.
It is actually entirely possible for those of us using metric to understand the relative sizes of legacy measurement systems. Apparently it's not so easy the other way round;)
That's why he used two tubes, furthermore he's Canadian, or better be if he's paying people in Candian money, so your impression that metric users understand standard measurements is a bit off.
"um...no.

Correct, they are not six feet long, as I posted they are three feet long he used two of them according to the article to acheive a total of six feet. From TFA: "As I mentioned, my father works in a cement shop, creating things like cement piping. They also make cement sections that look like pieces of a cement tube, 1 meter in diameter and maybe 3 fee
