Ha, I wonder if the county realized that I redrew the plans for this house. We wanted some changes and also wanted the layout reversed. The builder gave me a set of the blueprints and I redrew them to scale as a mirror image with the alterations we wanted. Of course in my youth I worked for a large engineering company and have had some training as a draughtsman.

As it happens I did the plans for the playroom we are adding, having a 36" wide printer helps.
