Thank you. I'd thought about enlarging but wasn't sure exactly how to go about it. I bet the library might have the right type of projector for this. Or maybe I could use tracing paper over a photograph to outline the shapes, then enlarge that on a copy machine?

Oooh, I just had another thought . . . I still have a drawing from the builder. It's a line drawing on a promo page that shows the floor plan. The details on the house aren't exact, but it would give the proper proportions. Hmmm.
