Luckily, I have mediocre Photoshop skills and can fix it … This is the same sketch, I just took out the 4 lines and divided it up into a 5-panel garage door. Whew – Thanks, Photoshop! My eye is telling me that this is a 4-panel 8′-0″ door, and as a result, that scale figure must be around 4′-4″ tall.

Even thought this is a cost+ project, the contractor has prepared a budget bid price and we have made some revisions to save some money – most of which were structural changes. Our owner is crazy awesome in that he really cares about the design process and keeps asking questions that pushes the design and invariably causes changes.
