Create an empty room

I've just discovered Sketchup.
It's 3D modeling software, available on terms that ought to raise more of a red flag than it did: "Free From Google."
But I decided what the hey. This software is really pretty cool. And free. So what if Google can somehow use a plan of my house in its nefarious bid to take over the world?
It took me a few hours to get the hang of Sketchup, and then I started building.

A couple of things leap out at me from this view of my domestic world. One: it's really very small. And two: if I could just empty it all the way out in reality the way it is in that picture, I could...I don't know what. But it has a wonderful clean-slate feeling that I'm really craving.
This software is addictive! I just created a pyramid with a garage door in it. I'm sure Google can make something of that.
