Design

It has been a very wet day. Fortunately, there was nothing that required us to leave the house. The Silver Vixen has been beavering away in her sewing room, and the Gorse Fox has been in the study.

The morning was spent delving through the family tree, looking for possible links with Steven. With judicious use of filters, the Gorse Fox has narrowed the possibilities to about 30 people. Whilst interesting, that is not really close enough to be exciting.

The rest of the day has been spent on SketchUp. Unfortunately, this has changed since the Gorse Fox last used it. Whereas it used to be an app on the MacBook and iMac, it is now just a website app, accessed through a browser. This seemed like a retrospective move and caused a fair bit of re-learning. In the end, the Gorse Fox got to the point that he could draw the basics, and that was all he needed to design something for his next DIY project. He now needs to do the estimations for the acquisition of materials.
