A sketch of an idea can be very deceiving once that idea is then made into reality. But take real measurements of the length & width, TOP view & SIDE view, leaving nothing out in the surrounding area, that would pertain to the idea. Then put those measurements to a scale drawing. It often brings out problems that the idea/sketch/ would have never seen until into the construction phase. Erasing a line or lines on a piece of paper, is a whole lot cheaper than tearing down/out walls, Flustered, or the extra labor & expense of time. A architect scale ( triangle/three sided different scale sizes), a 30/60/90 degree plastic triangle (Only one triangle with the three degrees), a reasonable size drawing pad, honest & true measurements & a kitchen table. Can and does bring an idea into a reality focus. With out ever lifting a hammer. Putting a idea together, threw ones mind & a pencil there on that paper, makes the whole job easer. Then when a person gets to the stage of assembly with a hammer & sweat. You have in reality, all ready done it once, there in that kitchen. Oh one more thing, even if a person did not buy the bigger pad & has to tape sheets together, use the biggest scale on that ruler 3"= 1' 0". The idea/s will jump of the paper, once you get to going. On the scale 3"=a foot, (12") if you need, oh say,,, 4' 7" the scale is thus big enough, right there on that ruler's end because at this larger size the 7" can be easly seen & thus marked.
Have you ever herd the expression,," figures do not lie, but lairs figure", or,," junk in, junk out". It means how careful you do it the better off & honest will be the results. I promise you this, if you are true to taking very careful measurements ~~~~of say the length & width of your inside floor. EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING just as a bird above would see it. (Its called a plan view) Draw this onto you sheet first. Then the equipment, walls,,,what ever on to this floor plan, you will save your self in the long run a LOT of time, money, problems, and anger & then you will know if you idea will fit into the space you have. Use this drawing as a plan of assembly, take it out there and tape it to a wall, use it to chalk out on the floor where every thing goes. You will find it rewarding, and it WILL give you further ideas just by looking it over there on that kitchen table. My gosh Trucker sitting there is the whole Class C put together right there and you havent lifted a nail.
