Rough sketch

GUNAWAN W

do i need to start with layout then ?

usualy i using a rough sketch to measure all room, and from there i try to modeled it.
so i think it's work for you too to start the biggest project in you life

Mannie

I will make a movie later today when the battery is loaded to get a better idea on how it looks like here .
It is a bigger project indeed but we all have to try one day. And all this because we can choose a new kitchen today, that be at 15:00 so in about 1 and a half hour from now.

Mannie,

Unless you are totally opposed to being exact (takes the fun out of it?), you will want to measure all the walls in the house and do a 2d plan to work off of. See the "pro builds a house tutorial" : http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=723

Often plans can be found at the housing tract office, at the office of the designer, or at the building department. The Building Department may not let you copy them, but you might note down mesurements and other features and check them at home.

Take overall and detailed dimensions and check them against each other, draw them out square to see that they agree. Go back and remeasure anything questionable. Adjust slight anomalies to be square in the plan. Make the plan itself square and sensible, as buildings are never exactly according to drawings anyway. I don't know what involvement your work has in the remodel but let the tradespersons do the in-field measurement, DON'T give them figures for cabinets etc.

well it doesn't have to be really exact. I'm still a beginner so i like to keep it as simple as i can. But thanks for that topic though

Ok,.. this is the first picture, while waiting your movie coming up.
anyway, did you have some idea how you will organize the room?
like where is the main entrance, bathroom, kitchen, main badroom, working area,.. etc
i didn't see any windows attached in your wall?

Mannie

i didn't get to windows yet. Movie will probably be up tomorrow there are only windows on one side here. I would have taken pics instead but the camera is broken so a movie is the only thing i can do. roughly added parts in ps

GUNAWAN W

sorry,.. your information really rough for me
ok here is the second pic. please cek the measurements.
it's that what your mean? please correct me if i'm wrong

about the movie,.. yea i can wait no problem

Mannie

almost right yes. will try to make it clearer quickly

Mannie

this is more roughly like it is with measurment. Photo's tomorrow, guess i fixed the cam just need to recharge the battery, cleaned it out with air spray

edit - garden more like 3meter and on the left from this side a bit further since i didn't count the wall where the boilers and public storage is at

Now take it to be repaired so they can get all the gunk out of it that is sprayed from the can of "air".

Hint to others, NEVER and I mean NEVER EVER blow out your camera with canned air, unless you want it to stop working that is.

Mannie

It didn't work allready hehe, but now it does. Also it is a very old camera, prbably be cheaper to buy a new and better one then to take it to repair

Hazza

That's a different situation then... the photographer in me just gasped when I saw that you used canned air... still I would not like to see someone with a decent camera see that post and try it for themselves.

If the camera is old and non-functioning you have nothing to lose, so blast away.

Mannie

Indeed there is still a problem with the camera so i have to do this later, i got six weeks anyway before the new kitchen comes. So enough time to get another camera from a friend to make the images

Sorry for this off topic question Mannie.
Hazza, what's in the air to specifically warn us about this? Serious question!

Short answer:
Propelant

Long answer:
It's not "air", it's a low boiling liquid called "difluroethane". It evaporates VERY quickly and gets VERY cold, this can cause thermal shock to digital sensors and they will stop working. The liquid is also a good solvent, so it can draw up contaminents and make your problems worse not better.

Thanks Hazza.
It makes sense. I thought you were refering to condensation together with moved dust particles by the "air-"flow.
