Update: A coffee spill showed me a missing wall on my plan

I tipped my mug over the drafting table by mistake. The wet spot made me see I'd left out a whole section.

Coffee spills are the worst kind of helpful. Happened to me last year with a site plan. Let the paper dry completely before you try to erase the stain, or you'll tear it. A hairdryer on low works if you're in a rush. Maybe do a quick trace of the corrected area on a fresh sheet before the old one gets too brittle? What are you using to fix the line work, ink or pencil?

Man, that hairdryer tip is a lifesaver for sure. Been there with a coffee disaster on some vellum, totally ruined a whole afternoon's work. Tracing it early is smart, paper gets weird and crinkly once it dries. Hope your fix goes okay, those site plans are no joke to redo.

Ugh, pencil erasers and coffee stains are a nightmare combo.
