My Inner Nerd: Builds 3D Models

So the past few weeks I have bee doing a lot of painting and measuring for work that I have been doing at my new condo.  I plan on putting in some chair railing and redoing the flooring but keep losing the darn scraps of paper with all the measurements on it so today I just decided to model the whole room.  Further proving my Google-love and nerdiness I used none other than the wonderful Google Sketchup.  I feel like I kind of got carried away, but it was so much fun... I couldn't help myself.  I imagine that I will pretty much have to model the whole house before I am satisfied. Here it is... Enjoy!
