Question Posted Saturday November 19 2005, 4:52 pm
I have a question about acres on properties. A friend of mine just bought a house and bragged that it had 16 acres on the property. I thought that was a lot until I read that Brad Pitt just bought a house in Calgary that had 1000 acres! I'm confused, I don't know how large an acre is. Can someone tell me how large 16 acres is, like could you compare it to the size of something else? Also, it 16 acres as big as my friend made it sound to be, or was he just bragging for nothing?
I'll rate all 5's if you answer this. Thankyou

Either way, not that much to brag about. [ silversky89's advice column | Ask silversky89 A Question ]
