The word you're looking for is metronome.

"I own 211 square kilometer of land"

The only appropriate response to this is "HOLY FUCK!" You own .05% of Norway! Your lands are almost twice as large as Samsø! That's... that's... mind-baffling. I know it's mostly rocks and such, but still...

Aaargh, I`ve done it again. I have a mental blindspot when it comes to calculating surfaces above a squaremeter. It also doesn`t help that we have a term above scuare meter that predates the metric system, but it has been translated into the metric system. In my papers it says 211 "dekar". One "dekar" translates into 1000 squaremeters, Thats where my mental blindspot comes in, especially since I have been drilling my pupils in 1000 meter is 1 kilometer.

So in essence, no it`s not that big. I have 211000 squaremeters of land. Sorry for the misrepresentation in my previous post.

That makes more sense. I was starting to wonder how it would be laid out, given that there are other houses around.

So you have .2 square kilometers. That's still a nice area, and likely more than I will ever have.

Well, depending on what area you will get on Samsø, that is. I suspect that there is some farmhouses with some land attached?

Anyway my plan is to go for a walkabout, and perhaps make myself my own map of the area. I have the publice map, but I think making my own withmy own markers and comments on it would be more helpful.

If I have time, I`m probably also gonna mark the trees that I woukd like to cut down, and the onea I would like to get as tall as possible. Also one of my neighbours has a long workbench for cutting timber into planks. It`s a neat rig, you only have to attach a chainsaw and adjust the rig for what size the planks should be. Neat.
