I use MSPaint all the time for my High Quality digital art I make..

My latest work is called "Digital Crayon Drawing"

hahah, exactly. Here Jeff, I actually think GIMP is going to improve your panoramas. Check this out: http://gug.sunsite.dk/docs/Grokking-the-GI...1.0/node70.html

You could always print them out and tape them side by side

And then take a picture of them and post them. Scanning the taped version would, uhm, reduce quality.

No, its true... No matter what image file format you save your photo in GIMP still has to deal with the image on a per pixel basis which will store data on each pixel in RAM..

I found one called photofit, but you have to pay for it.

So what are these condos about and where are they?

So what are these condos about and where are they?

This particular project is an infill duplex that will be at 215 James Ave, almost on the corner of James and Cherry St.

It was designed to look like a traditional 4 square house but be an up and down townhouse style condo. The house is a LEED for Homes pilot project and will also be Energy Star certified, more then likely to 5 star level.

Plans are in for permit, the HPC has to relook at a couple of things but groundbreaking should be in about 2 weeks.

Edit: This is my 300th post. I feel so proud........ I'd like to thank all of the little people that made this possible.

Hey, you didn't even mention the other picture Nitro. It's your little "hut".

Just trying to be humble and not hog the spotlight.

That building was a heck of a challenge to redo even at its modest size. By all rights with the condition that it was in it should have been pushed into the dirt. However, we grit our teeth and did it anyway. The whole NE corner of the buiding had broken away and was about to fall over.

I'll dig out a photo of what it looked like when we started and post it tomorrow.
