tip #1- if you are an absentminded decorator like m21, and you find you've left your measuring tape in the last showroom you visited, or at home, or on the roof of your car- where it later skids off and smashes into pieces in the street (leaving a nice scratch in the process), a dollar bill can be a good substitute. it's a smidge over 6 inches long, so the longer you measure, the less accurate it becomes (add an inch for 8 bills), but it can be helpful in a pinch.
tip #2- if you want to feel like a real fancy-schmancy absentminded decorator, use a benjamin!

So clever!
Tucking that little tip away...
a canadian bill is exactly 6 inches...but we only start bills at 5.00 bills (our 1.00 & 2.00 are coins)
Must admit I always have a tape with me, if I forget it I will need it for sure.
I keep using my palm and messing up!! Will someone please send me the benjamin to use? Thanks, Mary
How many debit cards make a foot ?
And this is why I visit so often!
This is so clever, how many times it happened to me to forget my tape...I am going to measure right now Canadian bills and Euro bills, so I will be covered in most places I work (I have the feeling they will be all the same size). Thanks a thousand Benjamins
