JamminR:
Spbogie, I got a good deal.... why do you think I want those quarters so badly?
:D
Got a call from the realtor earlier today, another showing set up for 1130am this coming Wednesday.
(Running count since going back on the market = 3)

JamminR:
Tomorrow's (wednesday) cancelled.
Little buggers.
Heard that Saturday's showing people said 'love house, but too small'.
Yes, 1400+ sq ft is a bit small for some. We clearly advertise that its that size, pictures show rooms.
What were they expecting?
Biltmore?
Golden-Death:
Yeah, the picture is of 500,000 quarters. It isn't the jpg that killed it though, it's all the terrible resizing I had to do to not make the image 50 times the size of your monitor and 400 megabytes. I'll do some math and be right back with more interesting figures.
I used this quarter for the image, multiplied by 500,000 by hand.
500,000 quarters
are massed at 2,835,000 grams, which equals 6,250.10513 pounds
If you laid the quarters out side by side in 1,000 rows of 500, you'd get:
1000x500
24260mm x 12130mm
=
79.59 feet by 39.79 feet
=
3166.8861 square feet
=
3,166.8861 square feet = 0.000113596408 square miles.
If stacked, they would be
875,000 millimeters tall, which = 2,870.73491 feet, which = 0.543699794 miles tall.
JamminR:
Had a showing today. Back up to official count of 3.
We pick lighting for the new house tomorrow.
For some reason, I'm just not as excited as I was for picking counter tops, tile, carpet, and linoleum.
