I will give them lockbox combo to get detailed measurements as they might need to do.

I agree with hakchinoy, there are multiple security measures that must be taken into consideration by using your own site.

Lot size blows price per square foot out of the water as a measure. 

My specific questions are:a - What is the form of measurement for testing used? 

You have a great position to start from.Second, I always advise new investors to "measure twice and cut once" when getting started.

13 steps to taking a picture from a potential second story level view.if you're really serious about taking a pic from a 2 story level, i have my practical 2cents to throw in :)1. determine what height your view would be2. determine length of your the telescoping pole you just used today3. height from #1 - length of telescoping pole + 2 feet + = height of ladder you'll need4. get the size of ladder you'll need (as referenced in #3.)5. bring tape measure6. bring a friend (who's not afraid of heights)7. have friend hold ladder (or you hold ladder) - whoever's not afraid of heights8. climb up that ladder w/tape measure9. measure the 2ft as referenced in #3.10. do not climb beyond the 2ft point from the top of ladder to where you will stand (safety precaution/stability)11. set timer on your camera12. push telescopic pole (that already has your camera set and ready to go) and set on a step of the ladder13. don't forget to share your pics w/the group!
