Yes! :-) Ascii art lends itself very well to floor plans. I made
these of our new house when we first bought it:

For some strange (and long-since forgotten) reason I once made this one:


  +---------+-----------+
  |   [_]   |  |     ,'\|
  |  ((_))  |  | shower |
  |   `-'   |  | ,',',' |

            |     \     |
            +--    `----+


It's not much, but it might give some ideas...

Dear Jeff and Haley Jane,

    Yah'll have posted these here asky pichers of floor plans to a house.
They is okay pichers, I reckon, but it are my dee-cided pr'fessional
'pinion that these here houses is unworkable.  Nevertheless, I figgers
I kin build them places, fer $30 a square foot.  Materials will run you
'bout $15-$20 a sq/ft, an' the rest of the cost will be fer me to sit
there an' tell you where the nails go.  As per usual, you will haff to
supply the smokes an' hootch.

Mmmmm...? What's those 'I's over at the right supposed to be?

(Seriously though, you shouldn't use tabs in your pictures, and you
should use a monospaced font. Read all about this in the Ascii Art FAQ:
