I Found the plans from when the house was put on the rental market for the second time in 2017... by the looks of it they've messed the floor plans up as the ground floor is wider than the first floor
(which its not)I'm back up in Norfolk next month so may have to measure everything myself and draw up some of my own floor plans that i can trust to be (semi) accurate
May even invest in one of those Laser Measurer gadgets...

Once you use the laser you'll never go back to a floppy tape for decorating etcI Found the plans from when the house was put on the rental market for the second time in 2017... by the looks of it they've messed the floor plans up as the ground floor is wider than the first floor

I have never found estate agent floor plans very accurate, but they give a general idea! For kitchen design, I went crazy and measured everything to <1cm overall, we literally had 1.2cm left over on two walls, squeezing everything in, if I got that wrongI Found the plans from when the house was put on the rental market for the second time in 2017... by the looks of it they've messed the floor plans up as the ground floor is wider than the first floor

See that's the sort of Gadget i wish i had years ago, i don't know why its taken until now to realise what I've been missing out on. I could probably blame the wife... its usually her fault i don't buy gadgets.Once you use the laser you'll never go back to a floppy tape for decorating etc
I've just spoken to an Architect who's going to use my 'rough designs' that were based off the Rightmove floor plans. They aren't perfect but it will give him an idea of what we're after.I have never found estate agent floor plans very accurate, but they give a general idea!

Weirdly when I was at school we had to use mm/cm/meters (which is metric)
But in our cars the speedometer is worked in miles (which is imperial)
At school things were weighed in gramms and kilograms (metric) but heavy things these days we still use tonnes (example lorries are weighed in tonnes)
Never understood why this has always been the case ...
So for when things are small its cm/mm but when its gets big it's in miles....

Basically we did a half hearted approach to changing over to metric because a certain part of the population hates the new fangled easy to use stuff.
Even lorries actually have the container weights in metric tons/marked up in kg.
