Building a Deck from my SketchUp plan! #2: Some modifications to the deck plan!

I love Sketchup. I almost like building things in Sketchup more than building them for real!

-- You're a unique and special person, just like everyone else.

I agree. I started with designing how I should build a new Miter Saw bench in the vein of Norm’s from NYW, and I ended up working my way through my house and drawing the whole darn thing. I only have the roof left to do and then my wife and I can start knocking out walls and seeing what things look like. What a cool program (with its limitations), but still very cool.

this looks like its going to be a great project. you’ve got a good start here and everything planned out. thanks for the post.

Dick,

This is looking pretty good. You have come a long way down the Sketchup path in a very short period of time.

Well done you are an inspiration to all of us who are struggling to learn Sketchup.

Thanks all!

I think it’ll be easier to build than to draw.

It was a struggle all the way.

I look forward to seeing the progress photos.

I am quite envious of your Sketchup skills.

Thanks Todd,

I’m not the greatest SketchUp artist, but its been fun learning.

I still have a lot to learn.

I’m going to spend more time on it next winter, it should make the winter much shorter.

Hi Dick;

Great design and drawing work.

You’re light years ahead of me in sketchup.

Great work.

Thanks Guys.

Now all I have to do is get off of my keister, & start producing some results.

It’ll be nice to show the end product.
