Rule 1. A dimension in even number of feet (2 ft., 4 ft., 6 ft., etc.) will always work out in full-and half-block.
 

Rule 2. A dimension in an even number of feet plus 8 in. (2 ft. 8 in., 4 ft. 8 in., 6 ft. 8 in., etc.) will always work out in full-and half-block.

Rule 3. A dimension in an odd number of feet (1 ft., 3 ft., 5 ft., etc.). will not end in full-and half-block. But an odd number of feet plus 4 in. (1 ft. 4 in., 3 ft. 4 in., 5 ft. 4 in., etc.) will always work out in full-and half-block.
