CA for future home builder/owner

[William H Lynch]

Lew is correct; however, since you don't need a engineer's stamp, it's a moot point. The engineer is your friend, you have a working relationship, what you pay him is irrelevant. It's your own house, go for it, have fun, learn the software, even if you 'loose' money, the personal reward may be worth it... You may even find a career in it, I did!
