Allyson ACTUALLY used feet! I agree because she used an ACTUAL measurement unlike Justin McJusty, he isn't very clear on his measurements. You tell the exact measurement you want. You use a standard measurement: feet! You are good at measuring and know what is a universal measurement that everyone understands.
