planning stage

Negotiations between me and Martin have progressed. The result is that Martin is able to start drawing some rough plans to see whether or not our ideas will actually work in the space that we have.  We have decided to make the house 24 foot by 30 foot as long as the code enforcer accepts and approves the plans.  
So a couple of days ago, we measured the house, including all of the windows and doors, the height from the sill to the bottom of the windows, the height of the windows, and the height of the doors.  Martin figured out dimensions related to the peak.
Today we went back and measured the barn to within an inch of its life.  Now that we have all of the measurements, Martin has started drawing and redrawing.  He started with rough drawings on small notepad paper and has progressed to copier paper taped together. Final drawings that will be submitted for approval will be drawn on 18x24 sketch paper.
