house layout
Jan. 20th, 2006 11:24 pmWhen we were at the house during the inspection this week, M was wandering around taking pictures and the realtor asked what exactly we did with all the pictures we've taken. He's seen us take pictures of every empty house we've been in--did you know it's not lawful to take pictures of a lived-in house?--and he's never really asked, but we've taken many, many more of this house for reasons that are probably obvious. They're good to have, because you can't always (or even usually) remember the details, and they kind of blend together after a while. I mentioned that none of the pictures we've taken have been particularly brilliant, and the listing agent who was also there suggested that we could take them to WalMart and use their picture copier thing to lighten them up. This kind of made me smile because I have passed many an hour carefully retouching photos for absolutely no purpose other than that I enjoy it. It's relaxing to say, remove a chair from a room, or get rid of stray smudges. I don't have much skill as an actual artist but I do have a decent grasp on photo editing, if I do say so myself.
Last night, M took the measurements we made and drew a large plan of the house, nicely to scale and everything. This involved twelve pages of Swedish-size grid paper taped together. It looks really neat now that it's done, but I can't exactly scan it all in and post it. So we thought we'd take a picture, but the pencil lines didn't show up all that well. And you know I have nothing better to do right now than create a photoshop drawing based on a picture of M's map.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
starrflowerr, this is for you.
Mainly to scale but a little wonky (especially in the garage area) because of the perspective of the photo, and there are a couple of areas that our measurements are sparse and therefore they appear slightly differently than they should. Oh, and I forgot to label it, but those are stairs leading down from the kitchen (behind a door.) The funny thing on the right wall of the living room is a fireplace and built-in bookcases.
Fun! Oh, and by the way. No signs of termites, past or present, and so far, it's looking like the sellers will fix everything on our repair list. So, we're still progressing smoothly. Can't wait until we get the keys and move in!
