About 10 years ago I decided to give up television and smoking as a health initative. I'm happy to say I've been clean for the past 10 years......... of television. Still enjoy the occasional fag though.
We got hooked on that "Grand Designs" with Kevin Macleod. Binge watched them, just dreaming of the day we could build our own house (never gonna happen LOL). We did learn however that glass for the windows will ALWAYS be late - every time we drive past a construction for a new house, we look for the windows to see if they turned up on time *laughs* It always confused us tho that everyone wanted full floor to ceiling windows or glass doors, until we would remember that they were in the UK - here where we live, you'd boil to death with the sun streaming through all that glass!
As for a laundry, well our laundry is actually up the back yard in the shed. And when I say 'laundry', I really mean a washing machine attached to the garden hose that sounds like an F-111 taking off in the spin cycle.
And I too snapped all 3 Norther Terrace items up. LOL. 'Bout my only purchase in about 4 weeks, but I coudln't resist.
I live in a very old cottage. Could be even pre Victorian, certainly it is at newest very early VIctorian. This village didn't exist before the Merthyr Rising of 1831, and is in fact a direct result of the Merthyr Rising. Ours is one of the oldest houses in the village, built to accomodate workers associated with the new Barracks which came about because thje Iron Master insisted that there should be soldiers in the vicinity in case of any repeats. We are quite high up and our garden, although small, is bright and airy for most of the day (when it isn't raining). This is a google street view shot. It would have been a 2 up 2 down house but has been modernised to make the 2 down into one open plan space, with an extension built on the back which provides kitchen, bathroom and inside toilet. The Cottage looks larger than it is becuase they are stone built and walls are between 18 inches and 2 foot thick. The actual interior measurement of the downstairs room is about 13 feet by 17 feet. Huge isn't it? lol
Thanks! Just send me the dimensions in mm of the bathroom and links to the thigns you want to put in it (if they have dimensions too that would be a great help) and let me know what you need breaking off and I'll see what I can do. Don't expect the process to be quick. The kitchen took nearly a month to model. I mostly work from photos so those would help too.
As for the kitchen. That's pretty much verbatim. I suspect from the external brickwork, that originally it was split into a pantry and kitchen. The toilet and coalhouse were at the other end of the yard in a little outhouse structure. The outline of the toilet base can be seen in the outhouse along with a dividing wall. The same property would have had no internal bathroom, though it does now. Prior to that, a tin bath placed in front of the fireplace was your working mans bathroom. I'd say 1900 is about right for the age, the style of the fireplaces in nearby properties look Edwardian.
There's a washing line outside for drying clothes and when the weather is "moist" common enough in the UK when you live by the coast - radiators and drying racks are used. The reason the Dishwasher and Washing machine are side by side is that they share access to the plumbing. This is very common in the UK. And indeed this is on the spacious side for many kitchens here. Some only have room for one applaince, religating the washing machine to a utility room (in "posh" houses) or the garage or the space under the stairs - anywhere you can think to cram them in.
Well provided you don't turn up at my door with an axe and a crazed look in your eye because you've got a problem with one of my UVmap... I'm happy to reveal I live in Mablethorpe. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.3350898,0.2718558,15.75z
Wow. Now I feel like such an ingrate about our place. Heh.
First, can't say I've ever had a problem with one of your UV maps! Second, when I go all crazy-eyed, it isn't usually an axe I have in my hand! I have to say, though, I'm in love with your voice from all of the Bryce tutorials I've watched and, if I weren't perfectly happy with my hubby, you might have something to worry about.
I have loved the recent offerings for DAZ lately. Now, if I could just find more time in the day to make use of everything I've bought from your shop recently, I'd be golden!
And, about Maplethorpe! I just spent almost an hour discovering your little corner of the world. I got sucked in by the names of some of the streets that are similar to streets here and then started clicking on restaurants because those are great places to discover in any new town. I was a little worried about your neck of the woods when I clicked on the first restaurant, Sharkys. What kind of restaurant is open only on the weekend for 2 and half hours each of those days? I have to say I thought The Beck looks like a great little place and I wouldn't mind checking out Curry Night. I wouldn't mind having something similar to The Beck in my runtime either. That's a hint, by the way. :)
I think I gained 5 pounds just browsing through the menu at Greggs Bakers! Although, I have to say that even their 'Balanced Choice' menu had some interesting stuff that I haven't seen in any restaurants here in the states. That shop, though, looked really small!
I love the images of the beach that I saw. I live in Florida, but the beaches here in my section of FL don't have that nice long stretch of sand that you have in Maplethorpe. I had chuckle at award winning, though, as I didn't know someone gave awards for the best beaches. However, looking at the pictures of Maplethorpe's beaches gave me a chance to see examples of that beach shack of yours in use and it's given me some ideas. We don't have those here and I had no idea what to do with it when I got it. Now, I have ideas! I just have to track down some decent sand in my library which I'm sure I remember getting.
ROFL, I thought I was the only one that was a Google World Explorer.
Like both yourself and Etrigan, I like to explore places with Google Maps. If you know about petrol prices in the UK and then I tell you I have a 2004 Subaru WRX, not the most fuel economic car... But I'm doing my bit for the environment by keeping older cars on the road... I think... well maybe not, but it's a lovely colour. Anyways, sightseeing through Google is cheap fun.
Sharkys is gone and is now "The Dunes", the previous owner having vanished under a bit of a cloud, or rather into the clouds, via a plane, with her Majesties Revenue and Taxes hot on his tale by all accounts if the rumours are to be believed?
Life in a small town there are plenty of such tales.
The Beck is pretty good, though I don't eat farmed animals, theres enough choice on the menu to keep me filled.
There is a model in the pipeline that might provide for your seaside cafe needs... Just waiting on the texturing.
What was Chanchads, then was The Steakhouse and is now The Mucky Duck is next on the list to be tried out locally. But due to wanting to get out for a cycle ride, weather permitting or otherwise, I tend to eat more meals here https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.2594368,0.3236347,3a,75y,125.67h,91t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sbPTd3mTFfKNGGmc7P1Acng!2e0!7i13312!8i6656
Anyway, thank you for your kind comments with reguard to the Bryce tutorial videos. Eventually, when I know enough, I plan to make some germain to Modo and UV layout with an aim to making "good geometry" which I feel is the key to making the UV mapping process less mind mangling - though I fear little could be done to make it less mind numbing.
Finding time is always a problem though, particuarly if your work is in front of a computer screen and you have instant access to the internet and the kind of mind that is always wondering about things...
I live in Houston, Texas, and trees (or anything else) that produce shade are essential to comfort. We have a friend from up North (northern New Jersey), and she is always going on about how she needs more light in her house. She even cut down some trees to get it, and of course, she's now upset that she spends $400-$600 a month in the summer just to keep her house livable (and this with a new AC and upgraded insulation in the attic).
