I'm designing my house, which I'm going to build hopefully this year, maybe the next, in western North Carolina. (It depends on how soon I get the money, and I have a few things to do before actually starting to build the house.) The plans are all in metric. I'll be directing the work. Right now I'm designing the collar tie braces, which have slots every 400 mm. If I ask around for carpenters and say "you'll be working six meters up", and give them drawings of the pieces of wood in millimeters, what reaction am I likely to get? (The top of the truss is 5873 mm above the floor, to be precise.)
