I plan to sell my house. I talked to a realtor, and he told me to measure the house. The length of the house is 38ft, 6 & 3/4in. The width is 28ft 3in. My tape measure is only 25ft. long, and I am not going to spend the money for a longer one, that I will only use this one time and throw in the trash, because it probably wont fit my next house either. How can I measure the house using only a 25ft tape measure?

It seems you have already measured your house.
You can't. If you ever need to measure anything that is longer than 25', just report it as "25 feet, plus some more".
Sure sounds like another dumb blonde joke to me...

Around my area realtors usually measure a house when they list it. I just sold one a few months ago, and the realtor came out with a tape and measured each room individually. With your 25' tape you could make a mark of some sort midway along a wall and measure to there from each end and add the 2 together. May not give you an exact measurement, but it should be close enough.
It depends, did your realtor ask you to measure your house with the trailer hitch on or off?
Ho Boy Dennis!
Hook, line, sinker and the rod too....

25 feet at a time! Seriously, measure 20 feet, mark it, measure from the mark to the next point, mark it, etc. Add up the measurements.
LOL Dennis, boy did you fall for it. They already know the size of the house, so why would they want to measure it? Are you by chance blonde also?
Draw 2 diagonal lines from each corner of the house. Where they intersect is the midpoint. Measure to the midpoint in both directions and double the result.
Seriously???
Another piscatorial entrapment!
Jeff
Just list it as a double wide......

If you already know your house is 38' 6-3/4" long and 28'3" wide, why do you still need a tape measure?
If yu want to check his work, you would be using the longer tape measure twice: once for the length and a second time for the width.

You got it. Just write down for the 28 feet side 25+ feet and the other 38 foot side just write 25++ feet. They can just fill in the estimate theirself.
Blond joke Sorry but have too.
Blond calls the fire department and reports a fire at her house and said my house is on fire. The Fire dept. phone person said to the blond ''well mam where is the fire at ? '' Blond said in my kitchen. The Fire Dept person said mam where do you live at? Blond said here at my home. the Fire Dept. person said Mam How do we get to your house. The Blond said '' Duh -- The big Red Truck''.
