I just can’t understand why a surgeon won’t put me on the schedule based on my obvious knowledge though.
I find self diagnosing on WebMD so much more efficient than going through a general practitioner and then a specialist. Do you think that is reasonable? Would you recommend a different path? However, we thought if we could do the basic design our self, and then take that to an architect for finishing, we could marry the best of both paths: getting exactly what we wanted, and having the eye of a professional on the project also. This time, although we are still on a budget, we could afford an architect if we chose carefully, and may yet choose to use one. At that time we were working on a shoestring budget and really couldn't afford an architect. After reading through countless books of plans, we just did it our self. We do value design, and that is why we designed our own the first time. So, no we are not designers, architects, or any other professional building trade, but we are not starting from zero. And we did some of the work ourselves (electrical with the help of a licensed electrician, and insulation). Yes, we made some mistakes, but we also got some things not normally seen in new construction, and got what we wanted.
We researched subs, visited countless construction sites, visited with the craftsmen there, and hired all our subs. We made blue prints of the floor, roof, and cabinet plans, and then contracted everything ourselves. When we designed our first house back in 95/96 we did more than just "noodle" around with the plans. And you may not be ready to build if you value skilled design so low."
$500 software ain’t gonna really do you a lot of good without the design brain and a couple of years behind it for practicing. "If that’s your upper end for noodling around, just go straight to the architect.
