Vernon, when using pi be very careful, if you put the wrong filling in you could end up with something not so nice.

Re: Any good Maths Guys here
I figure my solution to this problem is, one pair of hiking boots, mossie repellent , compass, 25ft tape measure. walk in straight line from red dot, careful to take appropriate bearings, make note of every 25ft. when arriving at new footings you should have your answer........not so complicated, unless there is a 6ft barbed wire fence and angry dogs on the other side...

#13.. Stan out here Red Dot is a cheap store. So chances are when walking 25 yards from will come to another Red Dot and then another and so forth, that is where the word recurring comes from. Cheers JS Or another way of doing would be wait until is built, take a sextant altitude of then working on the assumption that the square block on the back of the hippopotamus is equal to the sum of the square blocks on the other sides I.E. the Kangaroo and the Wallaby work it out. If the answer is 6 inches is a bit too late, just get friendly with your neighbours, worked for Brian. Cheers JS

Re: Any good Maths Guys here
John, I thought the red dot was doc's reference to his house. So on the other hand, if the stress of having new naighbours that close to you, is to say screw it, build a high wall, sit on the patio with a bottle of scotch or a case of beer, get p..sed and forget all about it. worked for me when we had new folks move in next door, a lot closer, he built the fence, problem solved.
