Chris,

I always figure 80 square foot = 1 yard.  That is the typical calculation for a 4" slab.  I use 1"x4" 's as form boards.  It is always better to order .5 yards extra due to imperfections in your base, and any irregularities in your framing being square.  I figure .5 yard is $50, so it is money well spent.  Just browsing over your #'s, it looks ballpark, so I'm not certain what your issue was.  Did you place a moisuture barrier down first in your forms?  It certainly looks as though you did it as anyone else would have.
