we are building a concrete front porch that will have crawl space underneath. We are forming as you would a high rise floor. my question is how much concrete will I need to pour a 6" pad having to fill in block? the measurements are 32x9

If you are pouring a 6"slab figure about 60 sq ft per yard of concrete. I don't understand the part about filling block, but if you are using 6" concrete block figure about 120 blocks per yard of concrete, 90 blocks if they are 8".

Hope this helps.....Nuc
