What Is The Best House Outdoor Measuring Device?

[Mr Rex]

no you dont. appraisers use exterior dimensions for non condos. and if you dont know how to measure a dormer you shouldnt be appraising.

So you are guesstimating 2nd floor areas from the ground? Like I said, you might as well step it off as use a wheel.

So tell us how you take the measurements of the 2nd floor of a 1.5 story house with a wheel from the exterior. Even with a long handle....that area under the roof must be a bear to wheel from the outside.

with a really, really, really long handle...

in this scenario where you have dormers either over a 2g or on the 2nd level floating over the 1st (which i have on nearly every col in my market) how do you measure with a laser from the outside? this is a 3 second job with a wheel.

Two things come to mind, Sonny Corelone would still be around if he had used EZ Pass. Vic on the Soparanos would still be around if he had used a tape. The headphones didn't help matters. A wheel looks so undignified.

why are you answering a question with a different question? did you take a jt seminar on how to avoid topics?

So tell us how you do it in 3 seconds from the exterior. Excuse me while I cough, Hack,Skip, Hackety hack, skippity skip, hack hack hack.

 

[Mr Rex]

I understand now. You have measured yourself skipping about the house and count the number of times you skip as a measurement of the GLA. Got it.
