HOUSE PLANS - WALL SECTION

BEFORE

You'd think that house plan wall sections would be the pits for dullness.  Not so.  It's amazingly useful to collect different elements of house plan design and construction in one place and present them visually.  A picture can mean heaps more than 1000 words.

And so it goes that most house plans contain at least one wall section, which section drawing usually includes more than just a dumb old wall.  There's some  reference to foundation, to finish grade line, to insulation, to ceiling and roof, etc.  Still, they're called house plan wall sections, and here's one representative example of the kind of house plan wall section that  Before The Architect sees from the other guys', this one of a garage wall et al.
