Re: CAD for drafting, woodworking...?

DeltaCAD is straight forward, easy to learn and use drafting program. It can be used for all projects.

Re: Is it possible to repair rotted wood on a structure?

IMO you cannot repair rotten wood. Solution to a fix always takes effort. First - figure out why the rot has happened. (The cause) Find what species of rot it is. Yes, there are many species of fungi that rot wood. When we were having a house built in TX. I found several 2X4s that contained white po...
