help my room is so cramped up

[hillkill]

That is, assuming the measurements are even correct
See: window labeled nine feet

EDIT: unless i'm reading it wrong at that's supposed to say the entire wall is 9 feet? That's still confusing labeling in that case

yes, the one wall is 9' and the one is 12'. it's the same as you would see on a blueprint

Yeah, that's not scale.

Here's scale, based on the measurements you gave.





These are your three best options, IMO.

[hillkill]

how did you scale it properly?

[Georges]

how did you scale it properly?

I have a layout in Google Sketchup open.

[Headcrab Zombie]

No, it's really not



See how all the dimensions are defined with lines parallel to the lines their measuring? You don't just throw a "9 feet" label in an extremely ambiguous location and call it a day

how did you scale it properly?

Depends on what you're using
If you're using a regular image editor, you can enable gridlines, and just count the correct number of grid lines. Or you can use free software intended for floor plans/architecture

[hillkill]

sorry for being politically incorrect i guess

anyways, i feel this is the best option:



i wonder if i can mount my 50" inch plasma tv onto my wall though, it has to weight at least 50 pounds and i don't know if my studs can support it.

[Col. Derontchi]

brother you could have just said TV

[Headcrab Zombie]

studs support way more than 50 pounds lol
a 2x4 hunk of solid wood can take a lot, unless they're soft and rotten
in which case you have bigger issues than "how should I arrange my room"

the issue is mounting it properly. Just buy a mount kit

i could've but that wouldn't have given a perspective to how much weight and pressure would be put on the walls.

i'm wondering if it can support it because i live in a mobile home and i don't know if the studs in a regular house are thicker or not.

[Headcrab Zombie]

I mounted a biggass CRT tv to the wall of a mobile home
a flatscreen will be fine
they're still 2x4. 2x4 is standard, possibly even enforced by construction codes, but I'm not an expert on that

Something like this?



If so, it's most likely still standard 2x4 frame construction.

Do you have access to a stud finder? If not, how are you going to find the studs?

[hillkill]

i don't have a stud finder but i could probably knock on the walls to find the studs. if it doesn't sound hallow i'll put a thin nail through it to see if it hits the studs.

[Headcrab Zombie]

Yeah that's how you forget up a 50 inch TV.
Just buy a stud finder, they're cheap

No, a 50 inch PLASMA TV. Do NOT forget the plasma
