This was all back before computers were doing all the CAD/CAM stuff.

I'm itching to build on a piece of property we own, and would like to find some kind of "drawing person" that charges less than highly technical architects like you are legitimately charging, to get a set of blue prints and elevations so that I can have something to take to my podunk city planning commission and apply for permits, etc.

Where do lower middle class people like us go to find one of these drawing type part-timers? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
