Hey, thanks for doing the math. I would like to understand what happened, too.

Many years ago I was having a house carpeted and had compared prices on the exact carpet. Two places. One guy came in significantly less on the price per square yard. I thought I had found such a deal, until I looked at what he said the total square yardage was. He assumed that I would not do the math.

It seems like the official square footage of a house is what's on the property tax bill, at least where I live that's how it is.

And speaking of property tax -- I still have not figured out how that works in Florida. I thought about starting a thread asking about it, but I never got around to it. I just know that property tax there is not figured like it is here in Cincinnati. At least in late 2007 when we had our first look at TV, property tax was determined so differently than what we had been used to.
