    So you're an engineer and used engineering calculations in your 
spreadsheet? What assumptions did you make? Does it conform to any kind of 
accepted engineering or construction specs? What formulas did you use? 

    I'm not an engineer but want to understand and be familiar with the data 
and methods.
