As-Builts: Let's Box.

Architecturally speaking, most people live their lives in little boxes.  Living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, and hallways are essentially boxes that are configured together and fill up the space we think of as a house.  If we think of rooms as being just boxes, it's easy to see how these individual boxes add up to develop the complete floor plan.

All we want to do today is locate the walls within your house. In my example, the living room is the biggest room, the bedrooms are smaller, the kitchen is even smaller and so forth. It doesn't have to be exact, all we want to do at this point is locate the walls that separate the rooms. If you can approximate the size of the rooms, that's great, but you don't have to.

But wait - maybe you're wondering if this is true - is the biggest room really the living room? Good catch. You'll see next time.

Now, what about your walls?
