*Pigmo Pad Renovation Thread*

No openable windows? :undecided:

Not criticism, just surprised.

[Piggymon]

We've never ever opened the windows so when it came to getting them made by our friend we went for simple

[Mark]

Fair enough. Almost always have mine open - especially when in the shower/bath.

[Desmo]

No, we haven't really done any more work

But I have done some design work for our next major stage
I've been using SketchUp 5 to create a 3D rendering of the house. I'll be going right from the front of the driveway to the very back of the garden. I've done the basics of the front rooms that will be knocked into one. I still need to add another chimney breast and the stairs, then I can pop in some more furniture to see how it all fits





Next major step is to add the driveway and kitchen. Then I'll start working on the garden. Another plus is that this is cheaper than doing it all for real

I look forward to seeing that lounge after it's been sorted.

I forgot to mention, you realise your loo wobbles? Or was it just my hangover doing that?

[Desmo]

Yep, it does wobble

We need to do some work behind it to box in the pipes so I didn't see much point in screwing it down. We really should warn people more often

[Pickers]

trial version of sketchup 5?

[Desmo]

Full pro version I "aquired"

[Pickers]

trying out google sketchup... damn tricky on a laptop touchpad. Handy that you can import stuff from an online warehouse - like ikea furniture..
Will have a play later!

[Desmo]

Yeah, there are loads of libraries to grab ready made items from. Doing the kitchen will be great, chucking in all the washing machines, sinks and fridges
