Reading plans

Submitted by Uniquo on Tue, 07/16/2013 - 06:58

HI I am looking at the Madison dresser and the first item on rhe shopping list shows 14-1*2@ 8 feet long.

Does this mean the plan requires 14 pieces of 1*2 at 8 feet long? Looks like a lot of timber required just for the first section of 1*2 to be cut.

I am reading it as 8feet =243.85cm. Now as the plan specifies 14 pieces of 8feet, then 243.85cm times 14 = 3413.76cm or 34.20m

I am in Oz and I need to build this soon..

Or is my maths wrong?

Thanks
