"good baseline"

good communication good baseline for a coop but could use some trimming recommend making it 8 foot long instead of 8' 9 1/2" there is wasted material that way

"Excellent drawings. Materials unclear."

Excellent drawings, lackluster plans. Bill of materials unclear. My assumption is it’s lost in translation between either countries of origin/use or its field terms vs actual items. For example, “corner bracket” yields nothing in search results. When I look at images and try to compare to hardware store items, I have no idea what ratings are important.

Edit: Decreased rating for the following.

The "corner brackets" I refer to in my review are in the plans as 3x3 and 2x3. The owner sent me an image with a meme over top showing they looked up corner bracket in home depot. What they also managed to point out is that corner brackets have either 3 or 1 dimension. For instance, the first bracket in their tongue-in-cheek insult is listed as a 2 in. x 1-1/2 in x 2-3/4 in. Galvanized Angle.

This is what I mean by unclear bill of materials. When I search "3x3 corner bracket" The results are a 1-1/2 in 3x3 bracket. However, the drawing shows the bracket the same width as the 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" lumber. Meaning their bracket needs to be 3"x3"x3-1/2" which is a non-standard part and would require fabrication or special order.

That being said, I still maintain these are decent drawings that can yield a good general arrangement. The owner just failed to add clarity or seek it in a professional manor. They had their feelings hurt when criticism was provided.

Originally I gave them 3 stars because they're decent drawings that can be used as a guideline. However, don't pay for them expecting accurate drawings or prints. I downgraded to 2 star following the email with just sub-par manners. I don't mind paying for things, but I don't want to reward when people ask for a review then get upset when I give direct criticism.

The owner issued a refund. Fittingly, you get what you pay for and the plans are worth every penny I paid.
