The Shower Adventure Continues & Office in 3D

I visited the man-made marble place today, but the owner wasn't in. He called a few minutes ago about meeting me at the house to look at it today. I asked him to call me when he's on his way.



In other news, here's a rough 3D mockup of what my office should eventually look like. I used the free Google Sketchup software to create it. I love that tool! The colors are a bit darker then what they will be. That's because I can't model lighting in Sketchup to make them look accurate. The tan rectangle on the right wall is my marker board. Rather than using a plain white dry erase board with the cheap, tacky aluminum frame, I hope to create my own glass board. This is just a sheet of glass mounted on the wall that you can write on just like the regular ones, but they are easier to clean (writing doesn't stick when it gets too dry). I've seen them with a color painted on the back of the glass (or a painted sheet of steel behind the glass so you can use magnets to stick stuff on the surface). The color can be used to match your room. I thought a nice beige color would complement the others.

That's the nicest thing anybody has said to me all week! ;) And if you look at me from the side, it appears I've really lost some weight because I'm just a 2D cut-out!
