I used SweetHome3D + Gimp to recreate my whole home!

Lots of measuring and downloading textures and models, but I finally have a digital 'clone' of my home!

The lights all react to changes in color and brightness, and are clickable. I made the buttons transparent so it looks cleaner.

Thermostat is in the center, if clicked it opens the thermostat options. The background glow of the temperature turns blue when cooling and red when heating (black when idle)

My 3D Printer can be turned on by clicking on it too, plus it shows the current progress if it is running.

I'd love to see other people's floorplans for ideas, comment with a pic if you have one set up!

This is why I quit driving: I won't want a quarter of my house wasted to store a car.

Other than that, nice floor plan!

thanks! honestly I don't even have a use for the storage space, my closet is like 20% full and my attic is empty.

In Texas having your car covered is critical too

In Texas having your car covered is critical too

May I ask why that is? Is it to shield it from the sun or hail?

[-] 4lan@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

Mostly sun, but the hail is brutal too (but not often)

Everyone's car here has the most sun faded paint filled with cracks and chips. Cars younger than mine look 50 years old

Both, but hail can kill a car in minutes. The sun only really hurts the tires and interior parts like dashboards. Older cars clear coat would get cooked off too, but most new cars don’t even clear coats.

Seriously, I'm tempted to repost this on the FuckCars community...
