just something to sketch out a floor plan that will let you move walls around and lay things out. not against paying for something decent but not more than $50.

There is an app I use called Graphic, on my iPad. It has options to use it for several different things, but it also provides images of house appliances, tubs, toilets, sinks, etc.

Get some engineering paper and either an architectural or engineering scale.

Way less than $50.

LINK

this is your best bet .... very user friendly

You will be frustrated if you try to do it in Sketch Up unless you have experience drawing in that program.

Google sketchup. Watch a five minute YouTube vid on how to use it. My bro-in-law builds custom homes. He would send me the plans and I'd create them in sketchup. Pretty easy, pretty fun, takes a lot of time though.

i'm looking for something that is more geared to house plans than just shapes and designs.

What are you trying to do? I'm remodeling my house and I've been using it to figure out where furniture will go, what appliances/fixtures, etc. will fit.
