Yes it is true, Gibson's Grotto has taken a true form. While still in the construction phase, the Grotto will be open for business soon. And let me tekll you, building a house FROM SCRATCH is a bugger.......lots of time, effort, but worth it. After searching for just the right look, I realized nothing would fit my idea....so I built it myself. I tried about 6-8 downloaded houses....I felt like I was terrorizing the neighborhood with some of the structures.....they all seemed to be monstrous, taking over lots of the neighbor's lands!!!!Invading their houses!!! I would be an outcast forever! But I have to say, at least a party started on my first structure.....check out the picture...it had a hot tub (working) and notice the drinks are already out.....but it was just too industrial for the neighborhood....it had to go. So, I will show you how it started and where it is as of today!

The floor was started, I added WORKING french doors, and have been working on the roof! It has been a few days at this point. don't I look tired?

| A roof was started..almost done. |

The roof was very hard, but I persisted. Landscaping is also underway. After all, it will be the center of the neighborhood, a place to meet and greet....so stay tuned, the Grotto is coming!!!
Hi Gibson, thank you for visiting my blog and leaving an comment. It was a pleasure showing you around HH school, especially that you sounded like you were starting to get really interested in SL :). I can see from your blog that you're enjoying it. I saw the sign that you put in front of your build and it made me smile. I got jealous of you and Techno building your houses instead of just putting a ready made one, so I started building. Well, enough to say that for the time being I went back to a the one I bought from the marketplace but I won't give up trying. I think you'll become a great builder soon. You're experimenting and you know what you want to create. I am looking forward to seeing your finished Grotto.
ReplyDeleteOlive, the Grotto is complete! Come visit as the door is always open! Gibson
DeleteGreat job for building your own! I just put up the cabin from my inventory and built it on the side of a hill...it's a little rustic! But there is a nice ocean view. I was reminded of my least favorite assignment from last semester - Google Sketchup! Just could not get the hang of it! Your grotto looks grand :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Morgan, I'll have to see your hillside cabin sometime. Google Sketchup......I will have to check that out. Gibson.
