Old Blueprints
Wondering what to do with your old blueprints? Some transform them into captivating pieces of art! But before they grace your walls, consider these steps:
Make duplicates and scan them at your local print shop.
Keep a readily accessible copy for easy reference during home updates.
Ensure a high-quality scan saved in PDF format.
Digitize your plans using CAD software for DWG files.
Safeguard the originals in a secure location. (For framing, opt for a high-quality colored copy rather than the original.)
When you are ready to do a small or whole house remodel, already having a copy of your as-built plans will save you a few hundreds or even thousands of dollars towards getting your design and construction documents in order.

Room Service Tip #4:
