Pythagorean's Theorem (Without a Calculator)

Wait…. What? 8th grade geometry on a home building blog?

This isn’t what you came here for is it????

Learning the Trade

Actually, Pythagorean’s Theorem is one of the most of important pieces of mathematics in construction! It is hugely important that walls are built square, plumb, and level. The way to do this is to use Pythagorean’’s Theorem:

Pythagorean Theorem

Now you may be thinking, do construction workers really work out square roots and algebra to figure out how to build homes in the heat, cold, rain and speed of a job site - the answer is YES! ….ok, the answer is Kind Of! A quick and dirty trick to figure out if what you are building is square (a 90 degree angle) is to simply use the “3-4-5 Rule”. If you measure 3’ from one corner, 4’ from the other, you simple have to adjust the angle until the space between those two marks (the hypotenuse) is 5’. This will guarantee you have created a right angle!

Feel free to use this rule anytime you are working on something around your home - Planter Beds, Fences, Pavers, or even sand boxes are all projects that can benefit from this knowledge! Check out the video below of us teaching this important skill to the next generation!

The Winston Plan

The Winston Plan from Red Door homes is an awesome layout for a new home. I walked this home with my kids the other day and what really struck me was how much space there was on the main level. The winston is a little over 1700 square feet but feels much larger. We walked a home that was over 3000 sf right after we left the Winston and it really did not feel much larger. The upsatirs is really great as well. My son actually ran laps around the master bedroom - hopefully they do not try that once we get them back home! :)

Anyway, take some time to check out this video tour. I think you will really like what you see! If you do, please give us a call at 256-617-7237 or shoot us an email at Hello@RedDoorHomesAL.com. We can’t wait to hear from you!
