Using a Project Calculator to Hang Pictures

Video Transcript

"Hi, I am Bobby Hester on behalf of Expert Village. In this series, we are going to show you how to hang big pictures, small pictures and every size in between. We are going to show you how to use hangers and we are going to show you how to quickly and easily hang a picture just like a professional. I want to take a second and tell you how to hang multiple pictures on a wall and have them spaced out perfectly across the wall. There is a neat little calculator you can pick up at your local hardware store and it actually calculates feet and inches, so that if you had a wall that was 12 feet 6 inches or if you had a wall that was 12 feet 6 5/8 of an inch and you wanted to divide by ten spaces, ten equal segments, it calculates those real quick and easy. So here's our project calculator, it's a really neat device. It saves quite a bit of time if you are going to be hanging a lot of pictures. Let's say, that you have a wall that's 12 feet wide and you have four pictures that you want to hang and you want them to be perfectly spaced apart across the wall, so we'll enter in 12 feet 6 inches, and there's four pictures, so that means there's five spaces in between the pictures, so we will divide that by five and that tells us that we need our pictures to be 2 feet 6 inches apart. It's a really handy device, saves a lot of time."
