As promised…pix to accompany a post from a few days ago.
This is a little adobe bungalow that I designed in 1983—about four months before Ben was even born. As I wrote in the earlier post, seeing these drawings again after so many years being thought lost was quite a trip down memory lane.
These were all hand drawn; no computer or CAD involved. The most technological thing about them was xeroxing some generic notes and legends onto self-adhesive translucent sheets and affixing them to the individual drawing sheets.
I always prided myself on my drafting and lettering ability, skills that are at this point sadly lost to time. But looking at these drawings still makes me smile.
(If you want to build this little charmer, knock yourself out. All I ask is that you credit me for the design and send me photos when it's finished! ?)
I find this talent impressive. I've tried to self teach myself to draw plans, but never got very good at it. (Not to compare any of my lame efforts to your professional studies.)
I could live there.
Impressive! Thanks for sharing. The drafting class had hallway windows so we could watch / see over their shoulder what they were drawing. I was impressed then too.
