WOW! thanks a lot.

I'm wasn't too sure about using the electronic measuring device so I tried =
doing it with and old time measuring device. A ruler. Took a while to lay i=
t end to end to get the proper width and height but after several tries I f=
inally came up with the right answer. While laying the ruler end to end to =
test out your formula I had to use a ladder to measure up the wall .... the=
n it dawned on me .... Why not just use a ladder? Finding the right size la=
dder was a little problem but I just sawed a few inches off the bottom and =
it was just right.=20

With regard to dyslexia .... do you know what the definition of a dyslexic,=
