   Whatcha need a print fer?

   Just cut wood and put it together to look like what ya want. 

   Or do you mean to send out for bids for somebody else to build it for you? 

   PS:  used to be a lot of carps here that could look at yer pictures and just build it (depending on your permit requiremtns).  There are places where the permit costs would be more than construction due to non-standard non prescribed materials.

   What is your 'budget', or is there  none?   If Jim B still looks over here, he has his own sawmill, etc. and could do the whole thing for you, all you need to do is write a nice check.

   Get yourself a 2x4 piece of Masonite, a ruler, pencils, eraser, and some drafting paper, and draw your own plans.

   I was trying to keep it simple.  To really do it up right, of course, you'd need a T-square, but a lot can be done before that point.

   Start by drawing views of the space you hope to employ.  Draw to scale, and figure out what your clearances will be -- headroom in the loft, etc.  It's a sanity test.

   And be aware that there are several computer drafting programs available that are not too difficult for the novice.

   Alternative Solution

    You could also check out online blueprints from architects around the web.

    But if you're looking for a blueprint drafting program, you'll have to put in some manhours.
