Today I steam cleaned 3 rooms of carpet in my home and moved furniture out as much as possible. Wednesday the painter is coming to start the painting the LR, DR and Hall. None of it has been painted in almost 20 years. Moma has a hard time making up her mind for colors. We started the color process almost 2 years ago. She thinks she has it but I'm not to sure on that.
She is also looking to trade cars now as her lease is up the end of next week. So far we have spent about 12 hours with the salesman. Still nothing happening there. Thought we had it but the color was wrong. She wanted to downsize but that isn't happening. Its always something is not quite right with the car.

I did some cleaning, fiddles with 3D rendering, and now I'm looking out in my yard. Someone's horses must have gotten loose and they are in my yard grazing. My rottweiler is going berserk over it. She's hiding in the car port and barking at them.

Have you got rid of your trees yet?
Looking for some free firewood as its getting cold here

Hand scraped up rubber back carpet.

That's always fun.

Boss had a big shop meeting a while back to yell at all the dummies for taking too long and charging overtime. I guess they're doing so much demo that the machines regularly fail and it causes a lot of............overtime.

Anyways, I had to laugh. He says to the whole shop-----40-50 guys at that point. WHEN I STARTED IN THE TRADE WE DIDN"T EVEN HAVE THE MACHINES (all the time). WHAT DO YOU THINK WE DID?

Well, as it so happens I was there "back in those days". We sure as hell didn't do 500 s/y overnight. Maybe we did an office or two----50-60 s/y.

I didn't say anything at the time. Someday when it's just he and I I'll bring this up. He's not a complete idiot or an *******. He's just been walking around too long now so his memory is affected by the low levels of oxygen at those high altitudes. Thank God he doesn't wear a tie. Those things cut off all blood circulation to the brain. That's why the suits have ZERO common sense. It's a lack of oxygen to the brain.

Nick, I'm using Milkshape 3D. I'm also going to try a few different programs to see if they are any better. Milkshape is the one an online friend taught me to use many years ago. It has its limitations, but its still fun. I've seen people using a program called Blender. I might give that one a try. For me, the hardest part is doing the texture mapping to make the texture sit properly on the "mesh". I will also have to make the bumpmap (which has more details for the texture to make it look more 3D instead of just plastered on).

Jon, the trees are still here. Need to cut some down and do some trimming. got oak and pecan branches down that might make good firewood.
