Abstract

Imagine landscaping your yard is your hobby, and you would like to have a small storage building to keep all of your garden and yard tools organized and stored. You want to be the envy of your neighbors, so you take the opportunity to create something that will stand out. You spend an hour or two drawing something that demonstrates the style of the garden shed and its dimensions. Maybe something like the plans shown in Figure 1-1.
