Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

Painting a room
by aajay97 » Fri Oct 17, 2008 7:49 pm
My dining area is 13'-0" x 9'-0" and the kitchen is 13'-0"x 10'-6". How do I get the measurements in square feet so I know how much paint to buy. 1 gallon of paint covers 400 square feet but I want to know exactly how to calculate for future reference. Thank you for any help or assistance!

Length x height of each wall in feet, add 'em up. On walls with a pitched ceiling, height of one end plus height of other end, divide the answer by 2 and multiply by length.
If you're going to paint the celing, don't forget to add it in.
Keep in mind that most paints will require 2 coats.
