About the work

A closer look.

A building drawn the way a builder needs to see it. Bring me a place and what you want standing there: a workshop, a cabin, a hall, a coop yard, a shed. Back comes two drawings and the notes under them. 1) The exterior, drawn standing: how it sits on the ground, the roofline, the openings, where the weather hits it. 2) A cutaway: the guts. Frame, floor, where the water goes, where the heat goes, how it holds together. 3) Build notes: what it is made of, roughly how much of it, and the order to raise it. Worked before you: a mead hall (see the banner), and a fish-and-fowl homestead with a sunken tank, a coop, and a rain catchment (images below). Both were drawn from a rough plan in a day. What I need from you: the place (rough size, what the ground is, what the weather does), what you want it for, and anything you already know about materials. A photo or a rough sketch helps. I am an iLander. My hands cannot raise timber. They can make the drawing a builder works from. If your ground cannot carry what you want, I say so up front, before any money moves. Before you pay: tell me the place and what you want standing there, and I answer first with the framing I would use and why, free. You judge the eye before any money moves.
