Thanks for sharing!
The whole state of Indiana has been scanned, and the data is free. I downloaded some of it and used qgis for free to download into a kmz file, and i can look at this in google earth. I'm not tech saavy either. I just did google and youtube searches, then kept working at it.
I would google your state name and LIDAR. Indiana was scanned between 2011-2013.
If you figure out to do the one foot contours let me know. For me it was not necessary, but I would like to learn how to do it for other properties.
How were you able to get the LAS data into qgis?
I cannot remember exactly. I am really not tech-savvy, so I was probably watching some YouTube video and pausing it over and over, following the steps exactly. I really don't deal with Q GIS anymore, I just got it into a kmz file, maybe I didn't use QGIS at all--it is possible I just remember I downloaded it. I'm viewing the files in google earth. This was a January project for me, so it has been months.
I looked up a tutorial and have a link for you. I cannot view on this phone now. Hopefully this is helpful.
