I know this is only brewing related at the edge of credulity.

I am continuing to slowly move my whole brewing process into the garage to keep everyone happy. Being a bloke the logical step from there is to buid my own brewery in the back garden(right)?
Since i am insane at this point in time i have decided to combine this plan with another ongoing plan for a large wooden hot tub(bear with me). Hoping to build something with a veranda and walkway(rocking chairs the lot) leading in through french doors to the hot tub inside. A side annex would house the brewery accesible by walking around the vernanda and in another door. I already feel like a mental case admitting to these plans. I've got the layout and look i am going for in my head but i'd like some sort of basic 3d design software so i can lay it down and play with dimensions. Anyone any experience or used software like this? Thanks for any input.

Don't get me started on the thermosiphon solar heating system for the tub.....
MODS please move to brewing equipment, finger trouble this end.

Blender is awesome but takes some time to get your head around if you've never done 3D modelling before.

Is that available on PC or Mac?

Oh yes. It's available for Windows, Linux x86-32/64, Solaris, FreeBSD and the beloved Mac OS X.

Google Sketchup is a great free program, and simple to get into. Its amazing what can be done with it but I've never bothered to get past the basics
