Wow and i was only using Ematics no wonder

Doesn't seem right because this is the length of the house. I'm pretty sure it's not 10 feet long.

It’s a small house, likely a tricked question. I’d bet it’s a a plan of a kids playhouse. Trust me, I’m an architect.

No actually is supposed to be a very large house. My father was supposed to get it built. He purchased a 1 acre property to build it on. It's an actual 6 page draft.

I don’t think so. 6 pages are typical for

Non is correct. It's just a small house. Dad lied.

It is for a dog house. Trust me, I'm an architect.

You're a little late to the party, but still, this is a great necro thread

The blueprint is on a scale so it's not 12" = 1'

You needed actual size, I delivered.

But okay...here's a tip: How many blueprints would you need to lay side by side until you reach the actual length of the house?

A tip can't be a question just like 1' is not actually 1' on downsized scale....

Of course a tip can be a question if it helps you to clarify your thoughts, but in this case that's rather pointless...my bad.

It is very simple, measure your measurement with a ruler and figure out how many times you need to multiply or divide that number to reach the measurement written down on the drawing.

I posted part of the blueprint, it's not very clear but it's the best I can do for now.

You're saying that what ever number written down is actual dimensions?

Yes.

Perfect that's what I wanted to make sure! Apparently Non Sequitur disagrees...

Yes? My math was bullet proof. I can’t believe you don’t know how to multiply scales. It’s so simple and it’s the reason my Pii exists.

Apparently not.

According to Volunteer it's actually 119 ft. I know as a fact it's not a 10 ft long house...

Please, volounteer rounded up. That’s not how the real world works. I guess it’s to much to expect you know this since you’re crowd sourcing grade 2 math questions.

Because building a 10 ft house makes total sense right?

Is that a serious question? Maybe your father has another, more capable offsprings to handle this construction project.

It's probably a small house for his mistress.

jla-x At least you make sense lol

:)

I never said it was an average house. I'll post the whole line, I just don't want to post the whole page. I don't want someone taking the design.

So you’re worried someone will steal the “design” from one page? Not going to happen, plus I’m sure you’ve just stolen it from someone else anyways.

You should change your career lol....

No need. I at least know how to read drawings.

Its forsure 119'. Its written as 119'-0"

That can not be correct because it is not in relationship to Pii. And since it is not related to Pii, the design is not worth the taking.

How old is that page?

Old enough

I can't read the line dimensions but the last line visible on the drawing certainly seems longer than 11 feet, 9 inches, so disregard what I said.

So you’ve stolen the design and are trying, poorly, to build it without paying real professionals. Classy.

So if this house was built and I were to use a tape measure it would be 119' ?

It depends on the tape. I don’t think I’ve seen a 120’ long tape thou, so maybe buy several and string them up together.

So you build houses but never been to home depot haha

I don’t build, I design and oversee construction. I can also read drawings. All 3 things you are useless at. Enjoy the doll house.

You oversee construction but don't know the existence of the working tools haha....

Maybe I'll hire you to build a tree house or something, hopefully you can get it done

Says the wanker stealing building plans but is so incompetent they need to beg strangers online for help.

At least some strangers know their working tools

you did not know how to read a scale.

I'm not an architect...

We know Nick, you're a simple mall cop.

And a simple mall cop can afford a home like this while you didn't even know a long tape measure existed hahhaaha

Not sure why you're so hung-up on that tape thing... they go up to 40' for the belt clip ones.... and then it's the long wind-up rope for excess of 100'. I don't swing a hammer for a living, I tell the grunts who do where to swing. Big difference. Anyone can afford a house if you can all the corners and avoid paying fees to professionals. It helps when daddy buys the land too... You should have stayed in school longer, perhaps you'd be a real cop today.

I'm glad you know how to use Google! Glad you finally discovered that there are long tape measures. What do you tell your grunts use a rock or something to nail the wood.

No, actually, I can't remember the last time I designed with wood. Hard to make high-rise buildings with simpleton methods. Anyways, props for sticking around and playing our game, but note that you're way out of your league here. Had you done some casual research in this forum prior to you illiterate question, you would understand why no one respects cheap wankers like yourself.

Haha thanks....youre the only replying you must have no friends haha. But when you're done with your high rise building let me know if the property owner wants any mall cop services I'll give him a great rate lol

Thanks for the offer, but I prefer that the security we hire have at least a middle-school level education.

who did you steal these from again?

Can you show us more tips so we can compare.

Thank You! I'll leave the amount part blank

Careful... he's an officer... albeit, a mall rental pilon, but still, probably caries a gun. 8-)

He's a fucking dolt who can't tell a bay window from a three car garage

I think we've thoroughly established that

It's very interesting how some members here have to try to belittle people here. I don't understand your people's thought process, does it make you feel better about yourselves? What is it? I'm not an architect nor was my father. Obviously, I'm not going to build the house physically a construction company is. I just wanted to know how to read and understand the measurements to get an idea of how large the house is going to be.

I'll entertain you, ok? Here's my thought process: I come here for entertainment such as hoping to guess a building by it's floor plan, that another intelligent and educated person, passionate about architecture has selected as a challenge for this community. I deal with all sorts of real work in real life, and in my experience the people who act in the manner you have elected to carry yourself on here are the worst. You want to do it yourself and save a buck, until you fuck up royally, and either blame it on me or call me to fix it. Hire a local professional to consult/educate you on how to build your cheapskate McMansion, don't expect anybody to solve your very real problems for free on the internet.

If your father designed this house, and you want to honour his memory by getting it realised - that's great! Enroll in a building code or drafting class at your local community college, get some learning in you and DIY the shit out of your dreams. Or skip the hard work, but pay for someone to do it. Not really any in-between options here

Let me entertain you now. I have no interest to be an architect nor do I care about all the little details on the print. I don't have any architect friends to ask my question. Why would I waste a professionals time to arrange an appointment just so they can tell me its 119 ft? I asked the question in a decent manner, yet you decided to belittle me and my father. If I am trying to find out the size of the house you should have figured out that something is not quite right with my father for me to just ask him. He passed away and didn't get the opportunity to ask. like I mentioned before, I don't care how it is built, what materials are needed, or what it cost. I'm going to give this to a construction company ask them when it will be ready and going to return to my property once the construction is complete. I needed to know how to understand the measurement so I can have an idea of how large the home is. So I don't understand why you I'm trying to save a buck....

Because myself and others on these forums do this for a living, yet you expect us to do it for ----- free. Can you do that math? It's not a waste of a professional's time to help you with all sorts of issues, including how to read your drawings - if you remunerate them for thw efforts, it's called work, guy.

Your contractor can tell you how big things are on the drawings, if they can't you shouldn't hire them.

If I had a contractor maybe I would have... So you tell people what the little numbers mean for a living? I doubt it. From my understanding, you're also an architect, so you get paid to draft/design a plan. I never asked anyone here to do that for me... Finally, not everything is about money. If someone asked me a question and I had the knowledge to answer it I wouldn't belittle and insult them I would answer it.

Hey Nick, you're the one who came into our bar and changed our sweet sweet Neil Young Jam to some cheesy pop country tunes and demanded all Tvs play the cricket match. That's why no one here cares to answer your question. You've asked for free work, something many of us here, myself included, make a living doing. No wonder no one here wants to help. Had you for example posted the entire plan and asked questions from a historical perspective, you would have at least sparked a few of our interests. This is what I suspect Volunteer was trying to get to through asking for a better picture. The snark you received is entirely merited. Now go back to your mall cop job and hire people if you want this project done right. You're clearly not up for the challenge.

I actually walked into a bar and asked to the bartender why aged brandy is better, while a drunk in the bar started tell his life story because he has nothing better to do. So when I hire someone I'll make sure it's an architect that knows long tape measures exist..

you 'walked into a bar' and started asking everyone there your pant size based on the number of holes in your belt. (that's how scale relations work)

This is the "why aged brandy is better" thread: https://archinect.com/forum/thread/130326038/why-are-people-so-fascinated-with-classical-architecture

how did you get that? I thought we established that it was 119'

How deep is a hole?

what about a half-hole? or quarter-hole?

What's the scale of the hole?

I mean 611 feet.

If 'mercans were to rely on Trump's hand size for dimensioning things, global material consumption would be reduced drastically... Allegedly

That cubit can be seen at the Louvre

Ah yes, wiki…

Common cubit [forearm] = 6 palms [24 digits]

Royal cubit [forearm + palm] = 7 palms [28 digits]

the answer to everything is 42

The metric system doesn’t fix illiteracy.

General note no.1: Do not scale the drawings

General note no. 2: See General note no. 1

Besides the obvious General Note no 3 : See general notes 1 and 2. Have you measure other dimensions in the plan? Maybe printed at whatever size comes out of the printer?

General note no.4: When in doubt, ask for fucking clarification

You obviously have a reduction of a quarter inch plan. If something is supposed to be 5'-7" but only scales 4'-6", then you will have to take all of your scaled distances and multiply by a ratio of 67/54.  Or you could get a correct set of drawings, but that might be too easy.

It's an Abbott and Costello routine.

Perhaps one of your fellow students who was awake in class that day.

use metric scale instead

Good call, that site plan drawing will fit nicely across 97,000 A1 sheets
