  • construction design software for amateur

    What is the best construction design software for amateurs? I am a DIY enthusiast and I’d like to design some possible homemade projects as well as simply out of interest to design up hypothetical projects that I probably won’t ever build. I’ve looked into software such as actiTime, FreeCAD, LibreCAD and OpenSCAD. What would you recommend as the best software?

    Are councils responsible for cleaning roadwork mess?

    There’s work going on just behind my house but its causing plenty of dirt, sediment etc. to gather on the road. Can I have the council ensure that something is done about it, such as the builders cleaning up the mess, etc.? It is quite a nuisance and doesn’t make the street look particularly good. And I’m not the only one, a few other neighbours aren't happy either. It’s not the biggest deal in the world but we’d prefer if there wasn’t that much of a mess on the road.
