In pursuit of teaching myself all i could about home building...I first learned how to read blueprints......the next step was making my own drawings using a drafting board, scaled ruler, triangle and mechanical pencil.
When autocad came along I told my father I intended to take courses offered at a local college.
His comment to me was..."why pay someone to tell you to open a book...its something you can teach yourself...I got the program .....used the tutorials and did just that. Had a job drawing commercial millwork jobs for a few years and was very good at it ....also have drawn complete sets of house plans...but found I wasn't happy sitting at a computer all day. But my dad helped me realize how much I can learn on my own. I had the motivation...kept practicing until I got it.
