The engineer behind the curtain

So Allison thought I was a little crazy early on in this project when I built a model of the basement as a solid model in CAD. I thought it was a nice way to determine how walls would look and once I settled on a design, it made it easy to count-up material requirements.

I'm happy to say I had one scrap 2x4 after all the framing. I think I'll do it again for the entertainment center and shelving. For me at least, it helps a lot to see it before I get started.
