haha, i already know, you don't have to.
nice! it's looking like a house. nice sized windows too. i like.

[Former_Member]

walls appearing, that is good

[lsueszabo]

anyone else with really crappy views today? i just checked stats and i had a total of 56 visitors today with 89 views. huh? yesterday, i had 290 views and every tues this month has been over 250. all of sudden, 89. weird.

[prox]

It's the olympics....lots a t.v. zombies out there.

[cgwhitfield]

My views about normal today.

It's funny, we're so used to seeing the standard 8 ft ceilings in one storey buildings the 9 1/2 foot ceilng gives the illusion that it's an even smaller building than it is.

Yeah, may as well have decent windows. In the big scheme of things it's a small difference in cost.

[lsueszabo]

agree. big windows with big vistas give an enlarged sense of space. good plan.
you think it's all olympics jen? wouldn't cg's views be low too? also the olympics were on last night and views were normal. maybe there were some big events tonight. i don't know. i can't explain it. did everything i normally do.

[cgwhitfield]

Maybe my demographic doesn't care for athetlics?

[lsueszabo]

that's what i was wondering but i somehow couldn't make that work in my head.

[cgwhitfield]

Doesn't fit in my head either. Maybe the dreaded VA....view anomolies
