NW ILLINOIS | I love computers and what they can do for me. I've been into
cnc milling for abut 10 years and really enjoy designing stuff
and seeing the end result via a machine. Kinda like farming.
So my son is building a 48 x 80 heated shed / shop. They
want sewer, water, heat, and electricity.
So I've done all the above several / many time thru out
my 78 years.
Well it cam time to size the furnace, thanks to NAT.
Then came the duct work, sizing, etc.
I tried asking a HVAC guy, and Menards but no dice.
Everyone wanted $$, cann't blame them.
So I have a account using Chat GTB and I thought
why not give it a try.
Long story short not only did it design the duct work,
told me how many registers, size, and where to put them
but I also started giving it details on the building.
Insulation, type of lighting (NAT approved), and so on.
The more info I gave it the more details I got back.
In the end it gave me a bill of material, from Menards
and lighting spacing.
In each session I asked to create a PDF summary of what the
results of our conversation / chat (???) was,
Tucked it in my folder and I'm ready to install stuff next week.
This is only a TINY example of what can be done to help us.
I'm still some what leery but my son and daughter in law thinks
I'm one smart cookie. LOL
I was impressed!!

Edit; I guess the big discovery for me was asking the right
questions, details matter.
