Geoffers Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 " = inches so he's talking about 36 inch by 48 inch paper Chelsea Now I don't know who is kidding who; I was trying to joke about US still using imperial measurement when much of the rest of the world has gone metric. Perhaps the 'joke' has backfired. :oops: I am old enough to have learned at school inches, feet, yards, rods, poles, perches, chains, ounces, hundredweights etc. and the 12, 16 and 20 times tables etc to cope with them. Since 1968 in the construction industry we now just move decimal points around. Ok, the joke has backfired - or - did you know what I meant all along...?:unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbroada Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 that's why I ducked. Actually the whole thread probably belongs in chat. Thanks for that Addition table - I have it pinned to my wall here and need never fear sums again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffers Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 just sussed: a table shows Presidents of U S - the most recent being 1933, Franklin Roosevelt, so book is after then. Perhaps I should get on with some WORK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noahma Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 42"x30" in my office, and I'm in the heart of Texas. haha we use this often for the big houses, much easier to get all of our info on a home plan on that size paper in 1/4"=1'-0" than 1/8" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
