OOPS, I FORGOT
THE TAPE MEASURE
When you are really inter ested in the purchase of a par ticular home, you’ll want to know if cenain rooms are going to accomodate your belongings. It’s not always easy to tell. Room sizes are deceptive. A room filled with oversized furni ture is apt to look smaller than it really is Sparsely furnished, it may look larger.
If you’ve forgotten your tape measure, or for some reason don’t desire to whip it out in every room you inspect, there are other ways to judge space
You can pace the floor. Each ample step (measure your stride beforehand) is about three feet. Or count heelto-toe footsteps.
You can measure by arm’s length (again, measure before). Most arms are^anout 2(6 feet long. Your "wingspan’ (both arms outstretched) is about equal to your height.
You can measure floor or ceiling tiles and multiply. If all else fails, ask me for a tape measure. I always have one handy. But that’s not as much fun.
