oops

So we got working and moving along pretty good! Even set the carpet and a couch and had the windows pretty much done with the tinting and well then the problems began or shall I say they became more noticable LOL. This is the shell of the house that I was using. It is now being revamped some and customized more to our liking. Seemed only appropriate since we messed it up LOL! Thank goodness we were playing with a copy so we can replace as we go whatever pieces parts we need. The goal is to make the house a little more prim friendly while adding some fancy textures and a second doorway. As you can see the doorway now exits right to the water edge LOL! You have to be real careful coming out of the house to not get wet! ROFL! The house is long reaching from the very back line of my property all the way to the water edge. I spose I could turn it the other way however, the whole side to the left there (when facing the house) is my property too so I don't want to cut myself off from it with the back of my house. That end of the beach is going to be for meetings and get togethers maybe throw aout a dance floor or maybe even a volleyball net or something LOL!

The slide is back up now and I have seen a few brave souls using it :) It is so much fun and fun to see who can splash out the farthest when you shoot into the water at the bottom!

So I promised a picture and there you have it BUT it isn't what we will be living in or even wht it looks like now! LOL!

see you in SL......................................

no progress last night

I had RL things to tend to last night so didn't get to pop on to check anything

or add anything or better yet MESS UP anything LOL!

I did get on this AM for a bit and I fixed the one baseboard in the house that had been deleted with the window - linking - colorizing fiasco from the other night. All looks good now.

I also put a fire pit out on the beach with 2 of my cool striped chairs next to it.

I added an orange tree to one of the corners of the house also - come on wake up every AM grab some oranges, fresh juice while sitting on the beach! What could be better!

Yeah I know it isn't everyone's dream but it is mine and thanks to SL I can do that! :0)

I have the pictures marked and will try to get some added on over

the weekend so you can see too what I have been yammering about!

see you in sl.......................

I did it....Sorta! ROFL

So I found a great builder and I asked her if she would help me with the windows at our house. Ok yes she is a friend already but she is an awesome builder too. I will get Mel's store Slurl and put it in here fo ryou all. AWESOME houses, furniture and all LOW prim stuff too! FANTASTIC! Ok so back to the windows LOL....

Mel had made the condo's I first lived in in SL and I loved the windows there so she wrote a script for me and then proceded to give me a lesson on putting it in and creating a double paned window so that the lined window would show through and then I put the switches up....OH it was sure a learning experience LOL I turned one wall of the house black that wasn't supposed to be cause I selected the wrong thing to edit. She fixed it for me though LOL.

Then I was making the second pane for one window and boy did that turn into a fiasco!

I need to practice my linking and unlinking abilities ROFL!

And BEFORE you make something transparent you really ought to be sure you have it selected if you still have some moving around to do with it! We had to rez another house - take a window out of it and install it into the new house - what a PITA! Mel was great though and walked me through fixing it all. Then it was getting late and I needed to go to bed and she was ready to head out to so she left me with the 2 front windows to double pane and install tint on for today! HA HA I think I can I think I can I think I can.....glad she is just an IM or a TP away!

Lav put a TP in last night to get from one floor to the other BUT the tp takes us down the beach to the slide so she has to finish that later. Of course i love my slide so tp'ing directly to it is ok with me LOL I suppose though it would be hard to manuever around the house though without a top/botom tp.

So yep I took another progress pick but I didn't get it watermarked yet so as soon as I do I will post it up for you all to see.

The note ended on a beautiful note with me walking out of the house and the stars shining away! I normally forget what time it is there as I have it on midday to see what I am doing but last night it took my breath away it was so pretty. Twinkle Twinkle everywhere!

See you in SL......................................

so much fun!

OMGosh last night I had so much fun and got so much done and yet have not a thing to show for it! ROFL! I spent the evening working with Lav to see if we could put scripts in the windows of the house in order to make them tint 3 shades, clear, day and night (black). Well I did pretty well actually I got the window to go from clear to balck but couldn't get the in between. Figured the house was messed up anyway so tried another window. I got it to go from clear to day but couldn't get dark. Need that dark LOL!

Since it was already a mess we played with textures too and had stone floor in one section, pebbles in another and tiles too I think. Changed the wood choices some then poof it was all gone - the mess cleaned up! LOL

We went off to shop for window tint scripts. We went to Paskis ( I think that is correct spelling) and there are some FANTASTIC scripts there! I didn't purchase anything last night but I am pretty sure I am heading back there!

See you in SL......................................

thoughts

hmmm is it possible to just lose interest in something that I so thoroughly enjoyed not that long ago? No it isn't really a loss of interest it is just different. Things change and change is good right? Sometimes it is anyway. For Kriti there has been lots of change going on.

My little cottage is no more.

The landowner decided that the water park wasn't reaching out to others like she had hoped so it was taken down and the land offered to resident's of her current rental units. I grabbed some up of course and have offered to help her to keep the land going. We will be roomies again since all the land ws snatched up lickity split! I want a place to call home I guess although my RL family thinks it is silly at times. And a room mate won't be so bad - I mean it isn't like we have to listen to each other snore you know and no one get's left with the dishes LOL!

I got a house I like too I bought it off SL Exchange. BUT it is not quite what I want so I need to try modifying it some or perhpas making my own that is similar in design to it. Part of the reason the landowner decided to do this was she doesn't need to be on so much in SL her RL is calling to her and needs attention. So even though we are roomies I think this is something I will undertake so she can tend to the things that need her most right now. In doing the land parcels we also lost some of the tenants in the waterfront condo's so if you are looking for a condo to rent right on the ocean let me know! I know of some

Anyway other changes - Kriti's friends seem to have shifted too. I was very close to one person and it seems like a bit of split has come although not my intention I feel I was the one who put the wedge in that is causing us to drift apart. Preventive measures I guess you might say. RL takes precidence and although I miss talking and sharing and praying with is friend I feel it is best to let the ball be in their court for the amount of contact that is appropriate.

Anyway I have been in SL the same just not blogging but I will try to be a little more informative about my goings on and doings in SL. I will post some land pics and also the additions I make to as I can so you can see things take shape.

Happy SL!
