i'm trying to teach myself sketch up... it's fairly easy but the lady in the youtube video speaks so quickly i have to pause and rewind about a 1000 times! i've only done about three of the videos.. my goal is to do all of them (there's probably also a 1000 of them too.. in 10 years I will be pro!!) i get distracted quite quickly and decided to make myself a little fort like the ones i've been drawing after seeing this wonderful photo of Victoria, BC's china town in the 1850's! i need to build a ladder, and have the legs not hallow into the house so it will loose the title "hamster town" by hugo. 

* updated: i added a bit more in the day Ariele Alasko's pretty wood building inspired my little siding.
