MEASURE ON THE RUN
When you are really in
terested in the purchase of a
particular home, you’ll want
to know if certain rooms are
going to accommodate your
belongings. It’s not always
easy to tell. Room sizes are
deceptive.
A room filled
with oversized furniture is
apt to look smaller than it re
ally is. Sparsely furnished,
it may look larger.
If you’ve forgotten your
tape measure, or for some
reason doesn’t desire to whip
it out in every room you in
spect, there are other ways to
judge space. You can pace
the floor. Each ample step
(measure your stride before
hand) is about three feet.
Or count heel-to-toe foot
steps.
You can measure by
arm’s length (again, mea
sure before). Most arms are
about 2 1/2 feet long. Your
“wingspan" (both arms out
stretched) 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.
