Hi crash,

That's what's on a blueprint, a picture of a finished house.
You are confusing the evelation page with the many pages of information that instructs you what to build that follow that page.

DNA codes for proteins. There's no DNA code for "put a leaf here."
Just like there is no DNA codes for put an eye here or put a leg here.
crashfrog writes:
You may have to use some combination of saws, hammers, drills, and other hardware in order to create the finished product and the blueprint has no instructions for the use of saws, hammers, drills, or any other tool.
You are correct the blueprint has no instructions of how or what tools to use to build the house.
The blueprint does contain all the information and specifications to build the house. How you accomplish that is up to you. The process has changed over time. They used to use hatchets and rives to make the boards to build houses out of and before that they used the logs, now we go to Home Depot and purchase them.
If you or your contractor do not build the house according to the information contained in the blueprint and approved by the building department. They can order it demolished and if you do not comply they can fine you and get a contractor to demolish the building for you.

Those are not instructions, those are specifications. Instructions are step-by-step information on how to do something. What you're providing when you provided the specifications of the finished footer is information about what should be done, not how to do it. How to create forms to dimension, how to space rebar, how to mix and pour concrete - those are the instructions on how to create a footer, but those aren't on your blueprint, are they?
Specifications are found in the legend.
Information on the blueprint instructs what to build.
You are not allowed to mix the concrete on the jobsite as it must be the psi concrete in the information provided. If I specify 4400 lb concrete that is what must be used. A sample is to be taken and sent to the lab to make sure the psi is at or above what was specified in the information. If it does not meet the specifications it must be torn out and done over again.
So I am not concerned with how you construct the foundation. I am only concerned with what the foundation is when finished. You can do it as many times as you want until you get it like the information instructs you to build it as the blueprint specifies.

I don't know any stupider way to explain the difference between instructions and specifications,
Definition of specification
A specification is an explicit set of requirements to be satisfied by a material, product, or service.[

In the legend if I specify #6 rebar for foundation steel the steel you use must meet those specifications or be better.
If I give information that instructs that you must place chairs in the footer that is 24" wide that carries 3 #6 rebars and that every 3' you must place a 4' verticle #6 rebar that has a 2' lap on the footer steel either tied or welded and you do not follow the instructions contained in that information the building inspector will red tag the footer.
Definition of information
In general, raw data that (1) has been verified to be accurate and timely, (2) is specific and organized for a purpose, (3) is presented within a context that gives it meaning and relevance, and which (4) leads to increase in understanding and decrease in uncertainty. The value of information lies solely in its ability to affect a behavior, decision, or outcome.

So the information on the bluprint gives instructions as to what to build.
The information of the legend gives the specifications of the products to be used in the construction of the end product of the blueprint.

I don't know any stupider way to explain the difference between instructions and specifications, so I guess you'll just have to take the word of someone smarter than you who's been reading and following blueprints since he was 14. Blueprints don't contain instructions, they contain specifications. DNA doesn't contain specifications for organisms, it contains instructions for making proteins.
That's why DNA is not a blueprint, which is a viewpoint shared by every single professional biologist.
Definition of blueprint.
A blueprint is a type of paper-based reproduction usually of a technical drawing, documenting an architecture or an engineering design. More generally, the term "blueprint" has come to be used to refer to any detailed plan.

Definition of detailed.
1: extended treatment of or attention to particular items

Definition of plan.
1. A scheme, program, or method worked out beforehand for the accomplishment of an objective:

So a blueprint is a extended treatment or attention to particular items of a method worked out beforehand to accomplish a specific objective.
Since DNA is the informatin that has been provided for carring out the instructions to accomplish a specific objective, it is a blueprint for what the DNA produces.
crashfrog writes:
DNA instruction failure results in misformed proteins, not in misformed trees, because DNA doesn't contain instructions for making trees it contains instructions for making proteins.
Wouldn't that be the failure of the information in the DNA being translated properly which would cause the wrong protein to be manufactured.
DNA does contain information which contains instructions for making proteins that will produce the specific tree in which that DNA resides in.
