Adding logs to the cabin!
POSTED ON 02/22/10

I\'ve got a floor plan I\'m happy with in Rawla\'s flip, I have placed most of the furniture so I at least know what is going where even if some of it may change style and I am about to begin CASting the house. I\'m really really happy with how it\'s turning out (which is highly unusual for me.... I guess I need to wait until I\'m CASting it before I have my usual bout of self doubting). The only thing I haven\'t touched yet are the two kids bedrooms on the first floor, I am currently stumped for ideas. Unfortunately I think some of the store kids room items would be brilliant in there, but (apart from the fact I am cc free) I object to the principle of the store and therefore do no get anything from it.... \"I AM THE FISH!\" (this will make no sense to anyone.... but I know what I\'m talking about hee hee!)

\r\n

I haven\'t done much more work on Spider but it does now have a kitchen. I haven\'t got any further because I\'ve been working on the flip. It\'s kind of a bigger priority unfortunately since we now have SO many flips in the FLIP thread and only 6 of us available to work on them..... 5 of us are currently working on flips already and there are another 6 or 7 still waiting for flippers *sigh*, it\'s just bad luck that so many people have been taken out by computer glitches at one time.

\r\n

Anyway, hopefully I will be able to get the flip done in the next few weeks and then I can get a bit more done on spider.... I am determined that this house will not take me 7 months to complete!

Flip the Spider!

Hmmm, given I haven\'t done spider yet it\'s hardly a flip LOL But the point is more that spider is doing alright, I haven\'t had a chance to work much more on it but I have been trying to get a floor plan working.... the shape of the house is however making that very difficult. I was hoping it would be a 3 bedroom house but it\'s looking like it may only be 2 now :(

Also that is currently on hold as I am in the process of FLIPPING a house for Rawla (with the help of PC otherwise known as Peacemaker_ic) like Spider, I\'m stuck on the floor plan. It\'s a log cabin so I\'m trying to give it a cosy family home feel not just in the decor but in the layout and I\'m struggling a little at the moment. I have the first floor sorted but the ground floor isn\'t coming together as easily. I\'m hoping that have a weekend free to just play around will bring some inspiration and I\'m going to search the net for some log cabin floorplan layouts to give me an idea of what might be appropriate and maybe spark some inspiration.

Greystone is up and rolling!

It\'s so nice to finally have this house up where people can see it after talking about it for so long. Now heres hoping the next one doesn\'t take 7 months!
