Today I started the order for some new roofing for our house. Here are some of the drawings I made in Google Sketchup. These were what I used for calculating how much roofing to order:

Overall, Sketchup made it nice and easy to get produce “good enough” drawings for my purposes

Alternatives to Drywall
Posted by J.D. in Household, Remodeling, Work on January 31st, 2010
We’re planning on turning my office into the baby’s room. That means a couple things: #1 I need to find a new place to work, and #2 we need to redo the room to be more appropriate for a baby.
Samantha already has a plan for #2, we’re putting in new carpeting and we’re going to paint the existing wood paneling.
My new office is still up in the air. We have some spaces that we could convert, but all of them will require some work. Since we don’t like (installing) drywall much, I’ve been looking at some alternatives. Just to see what’s out there. Here are a few misc links…
Amazing new bedroom!
Posted by J.D. in Uncategorized on May 6th, 2009
Today Samantha surreptitiously rearranged the bedroom all while I was working in my office. I had no idea any of this was going on, though I should have realized something was up due to the unusual silence around the house. In the end it was a total surprise to me!
She did an amazing job. Now it feels like we have an entirely new awesome bedroom, whereas before it just seemed like we had a room with a bed in it .
So perhaps it’s not an entirely new bedroom, but it sure feels like it is! Many, many thanks to Samantha!!!
