Figuring ot wallspace...help please!

[Ponyo]

I'm going to try to describe this as best as I can, I'm kinda a retard.

So I'm trying to cover a wall that I hate in my basement with "wallpaper" that I'm going to print from my at home printer. Ghetto I know, but I'm making due with what I have.

I have no clue how to figure out how many I should print, so figure somebody could help me out with an equasion or something.

So say my wall is 10 x 20. How do I figure out how many pages I need to print of the pattern?

You don't say

if you wanna go super ghetto just take one sheet of paper and flip it end to end down the wall counting the number of sheetflips. then flip it side to side the length of the wall. multiply the two numbers.

why don't you buy wrapping paper?
It'd probably be cheaper than the ink you use, and wont look as stupid.

Was going to say this too. Youre going to spend an ass laod in ink.. Buy paint, wth is wrong with you lol?

That's going to be a lot of ink and paper to buy to replace what you'll wind up using (it won't end up being 'cheap')... might be better off getting some newsprint or something and gluing it up instead.

Or butcher's paper. That comes in rolls.
Then you can draw that.

Rasterbate it.

So... since its in the basement, is it a legit wall or a cement foundation wall?

(aka unfinished, or finished basement?) If unfinished, enjoy your mold.

Rasterbate it.

^This, I had a large print of the eiffel tower I had built. Had 48 8x8 squares that I had printed onto that thick foam posterboard. Looked damn good.

Is this CS's brother?

[Qalbert]

he can afford a printer and ink so probably not

[Alleya]

Just..paint it...? What the fuck.

10'x20' = 120"x240"
8.5"x11" sheet of paper

Placing the sheets with the 11" side on the horizontal (240"):
240/11 = 21.8181 round up to 22 columns of sheets
120/8.5 = 14.1176 round up to 15 rows of sheets
22x15 = 330 sheets

Placing the sheets width he 11" side on the vertical (120"):
120/11 = 10.9090 round up to 11 rows of sheets
240/8.5 = 28.2353 round up to 29 columns of sheets
11*29= 319 sheets

it's dry wall

I'm just broke as fuck so I'm just making due with what I have, so it's kinda ghetto, but better than looking at a dry wall in my room

I can print a ton of shit at work, so it's atually going to be free besides glue or tape or something
