I was just looking for design tools and came across this link for resources on designing your property in Inkscape (free). I have tried to use other tools such as gimp or sketchup but did not find them to be as easy to learn as Inkscape. Disclaimer: Inkscape probably is not for the computer illiterate either. This link does have some very handy basic tutorials though.

There will be plenty of time to discuss your objections when and if you return. The cargo is this tiny ad:
