Dear native English speakers,
Could you please help me check what I wrote?
It has something to do with technical terms/knowledge(construction). I would appreciate your help ☺️.
This double arrow line denotes the range of rebars to be installed.
L denotes the length of the range.
H(x)-y
x denoted rebar diameter
y denotes rebar spacing
Take 4200x4200 drop panel for example,
the cover for B3 drop panel is 50mm, the number of B1 rebar H40-150 required is calculated as below:
(4200-50-50)÷150=27.33, rounded up to 28, hence 28+1=29H40 bars are required.
N+2 denotes the number of rebar H(x)-y required. (N is an integer.)

Dear Native English speakers, please help me correct the sentences. Thanks a lot in advance.
A bundle of sticks has 12 sticks.
Now I need 57 sticks. In order to make full bundles, I take 60 sticks which is 5 full bundles.
I don’t know if “ to make full bundles” works or not.
Can I use “ to round up to full bundles” instead?
Do you have any other ways to express that?

Harvesting Sweet Potatoes
Today it’s sunny, but a little windy. The sky is azure.
I helped my mom harvest the sweet potatoes. I used a shovel to dig sweet potatoes. I dug a very long one whose length can be as long as 40 cm. And this is the longest sweet potato I have seen. It was a pleasant surprise!
The following is the steps to harvest sweet potatoes.
Step1: Use a sickle to swish off the sweet potato vines. ( See picture 2)
Step2: Use a shovel or a farm fork to dig sweet potatoes.
Step3: College the dug sweet potatoes.
My mom says that it’s not easy to store sweet potatoes and that they can get rotten easily. She plans to use a mandoline to slice the sweet potatoes and set them out to dry in the sun.
After slicing the potatoes and putting them in the sun for a few hours, it’s better to turn them around so that they can be exposed to the sun abundantly and get dry more quickly.
