Stephen Terry's Drawing Journal

Ah...Sunday. A lot going on this weekend at my eldest daughters; getting a low threshold shower into place after removing a poorly made shower and tub unit that failed after only 7 years. I forgot how much work goes into redoing the walls; installing a floor pan system; plumbing; putting in the shower wall system; wall plastering; and finish baseboards and trim! Love doing it though.

Came home and found my 3rd Submittal assignment in the mailbox. Its titled "Brick Sandhouse". It comes from the July 1957 Model Railroad magazine. Immediately there were issues with scaled height, window sizing and one drawing depicting rafter tails, and another not. This photo shows how I start a forensic drawing to determine what will be correct for the AutoCAD page that will print out to scale. This also is the foundation for the final 4 elevations that will be rendered in color. Enjoy!
