Pretty Darn Handy Online Calculators (free) for Home Improvement

via www.diy.com

It never hurts to calculate.

Intuitive guesses are way more fun.

But it never hurts to do the actual math, just in case your intuition is offish that day.

By the way, paint is the only calculation that is usually bogus, even with a calculator, because everyone spreads paint differently. Some of us are generous, others parsimonious.

Paint is the wild child of impulse and intellect. So don't say I didn't warn you.

Outdoor wicker patio furniture has a lot of things going for it. It's lightweight but sturdy, creating durable but easily moved outdoor furniture. It's also considerably cheaper than either metal or wood furniture. Of course, you could always go with plastic, but plastic lacks aesthetic appeal
