I'd downplay the cars ... after all, what's the presentation about? Cars? Signage? I'm not so sure with the images!

Otherwise, I think the images look very good.

Keep it up!

Adam -

Really, the best resource for you to study would be an architect (or VERY knowledgeable drafter) from your area. Certain practices that you may find on-line for (say) California may not be fully compliant with (say) Minnesota. Any of us could send you examples of our areas/regions, but they will be prejudiced for that area only.

The foundation requirements (and really, the room layout) for MN may be VERY different than those of what we'd design for CA, and from what I've seen in my over 30 years of practice is that certain standards are highly specific to certain regions of the US, and are best resolved by those who practice within that region.

That said, this does NOT preclude using someone from outside your region to design the stucture - only that the Design Professional would be wise to utilize someone local to your region to review the drawings and specs for conformance to local conditions and code modifications.

Nothing personal to ANYONE reading this!

A couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering things. During a checkup, the doctor tells them that they're physically okay, but they might want to start writing things down to help them remember

Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair. "Want anything while I'm in the kitchen?" he asks.

"Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?"

"Sure."

"Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?" she asks.

"No, I can remember it."

"Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe you should write it down, so's not to forget it?"

He says, "I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries."

"I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that, write it down?" she asks.

Irritated, he says, "I don't need to write it down, I can remember it! Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream - I got it, for goodness sake!"

Then he toddles into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, the old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs.

She stares at the plate for a moment then asks "Where's my toast ?"

A senior citizen said to his eighty-year old buddy:

"So I hear you're getting married?"

"Yep!"

"Do I know her?"

"Nope!"

"This woman, is she good looking?"

"Not really."

"Is she a good cook?"

"Naw, she can't cook too well."

"Does she have lots of money?"

"Nope! Poor as a church mouse."

"Well, then, is she good in bed?"

"I don' t know."

"Why in the world do you want to marry her then?"

"Because she can still drive!"

Morris, an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical.

A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm.

A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, "You're really doing great, aren't you?"

Morris replied, "Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.'"

The doctor said, "I didn't say that. I said, 'You've got a heart murmur; be careful."

One more. . .!

A little old man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlor and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool. After catching his breath, he ordered a banana split.

The waitress asked kindly, "Crushed nuts?"

"No," he replied, "Arthritis."

Maybe not directly topic related, but are there people here who have experience with the Intellicad family?
Always good to look for cheaper alternatives for Autocad.

I use BricsCad (utilizing Icad) and am very happy with it. BricsCad seems to be at the forefront of tweaking/fixing Icad. It's not the cheapest version of Icad, but it's probably one of the most stable.

Done.
