I am most of the way through building a Cape Ann Double. I have found the plans very easy to follow and support from the designer excellent on the few occasions I've needed to ask him something. There is also a helpful web-site available to plan purchasers. Obviously you need a LOT more space in which to build it and it is a beast to shift around until you get it off the forms. It seems to be taking forever compared to building a single but what can you expect, it's a double. i was able to make my singles in the basement, look here to see where I had to start the double and still be able to get it out of the house: http://www.flickr.com/photos/9239236@N05/
