| I dont think that is reasonable. The only house plans that are likely
to have zero defects are stock plans for a house design that has been
built several times by someone who is conscientous about updating the
prints as each house is built and new errors are discovered. If your
plans are a custom design, then why would you expect a HUMAN designer to
be error free? |
| Take a look at Rhinoceros, www.rhino3d.com. The demo is good for 25 saves,
but is otherwise the full package. For me, it excels at building accurate
models very quickly. If youre somewhat familiar with acad, youll find the
command and point entry format familiar enough. At the same time, youll
miss some of acads distance entry feature. Among its more useful features
is the ability to flatten the model into a 4-view with hidden lines, which I
export to acad for dimensioning (Rhinos dimensioning works OK, but isnt as
good as acad/intellicads). The boolean solid operations make it easy to
whack a notch or mortise into a box. Ive done part drawings this way for
complex pieces. Its literally a matter of an hour or so from concept to
finished drawing for simple work. Also, I modeled my entire house from
blueprints in about four hours. I scanned the blueprint, pieced them
together in a paint program, and used the resulting bitmap as the background
in the plan pane. I still drew to scale on t. |
| Then, later, you have a problem and mention to the window
rep, that you did not order them. Well, wasnt the order
suppose to come from the builder and not you? So, of course
*you* didnt directly place an order for them.
You substantially changed the house plans, and reduced the
number of custom gable windows from 4 to 2.
Stock sizes. Also, although the changes we substantial they were
anticipated. By this I mean that it was going to be very close as to
whether thse gable windows (stock sizes) were going to fit. Neither the
architect nor the builder was sure if things were going to fit until the
house was framed. hence the hold on these windows (or the presumed hold)
until the rough ins were framed. The only problem was that these windows
turned out to be on the contract that the builder signed, the only legal
written document.
How you want the window rep to take back the two extra
custom windows. He agrees, but with a 50% re-stock fee.
Let me also add, to everyon. |

| If youre adding floors inside, you can either glue up
curved boards out of multiple layers of thinner stock,
use steel ledgers, or support the floors on posts,
using the silo as just a curtain wall. Since youll
probably be wanting to insulate as well, you might even
just build a stud-wall around the inner edge, and support the
floors on that. (7-feet is too low, by the way.
if youre going to live in a silo, you should have
headroom!) If you do that, youll have to put in angle-
braces, because normal stud-wall construction uses the
plywood sheathing, (which you wouldnt have) to resist wracking
stress. |
