Anyone with a little extra time for a favor? - Contractor Talk - Professional Construction and Remodeling Forum

I need to get CAD views of my home project, and I am absolutely techno illiterate. So, anyone (Cole?) that would love to get access to my secret home plans and draw the elevations for me?

I wouldn't mind if I actually had the time. If it's something like a small addition, I could take a look this weekend if Cole doesn't jump on it first.

I have to get the designer to e-mail me the print. And then I will twist Cole's arm(s) until he does what I want.

Nothin' quite like twisting arms in public to get what you want...

My own design is (picture this) a 36 foot wide x 60 foot long footprint with walls 18 feet high, tapered in to 30 wide (long axis). 2/12 pitch walls and roof lines on the long axis. A slope wall shell. Simple, huh? Now, extend the roof planes to 80 long, add 4 columns at each end, a kick out on one long wall 15 feet from one end projecting 8 feet out, 8 high, lean to roof back to the slope wall (sun room). The opposite side has a "lean to" roof for 45 feet of the 60, extending 30 feet to create another space for a garage.

I have the floor plans, but try explaining this to someone....see what I mean?

How the hell are you going to hang pictures? You building a church? I can't picture it.

**joasis** · 06-18-2008, 02:57 PM

Exactly. It is my design for me....and you missed the part on the pitch. Try this view: The walls "lean" in 3 feet at the top to start a new pitch at 2/12. The base is 36 wide, and the wall height is 18. 30 foot steel trusses tie the walls together. The "end walls" will be brick, but the long walls will be classic panel steel. Yes, it will be a bear to hang pictures on the long walls, but I am not big on stuff on the walls anyway.

Jay, I sent you a pm.

**joasis** · 06-19-2008, 01:03 PM

I got it Cole, thanks...I am waiting to see if the designer is going to get the plan e-mailed to me.

**joasis** · 06-19-2008, 05:49 PM

Lets see if the plan shows up:

**joasis** · 06-19-2008, 05:51 PM

Looking at the plan above, the garage is 45 long by 30 wide, and the home is 60 long by 36 wide....I will see if I can rotate it and make it grow a little.
